I have a 1990 240SX and had a friend of a friend who is a mechanic do the following work:

Replaced all four fuel injectors, and install a new fuel filterReplaced the ClutchReplaced the Distributor Cap and Rotor, along with the wires and plugsReplaced all of the hosesReplaced the muffler. Only the muffler and tailpipeReplaced the head gasket

When all was done, the car seems to be running rough, especially at idle. The problem is especially noticable at idle with the air conditioner on. Also the car is loud through the exhaust. No more strong gas odor.

Any ideas on the problem? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Sorry, Not head gasket. Replace Valve Cover casket. There was an oil leak.
