ok i got three problems with my explorer. first off i just hit 91000 miles on it..about a year ago i broke my front driveshaft (its a v8) and had it replaced.. about two months ago i replaced the front pinion seal...lately ive been getting a clicking sound which sounds like its comin from the front driveshaft. it seems to disapear after 15mph....any clue? other problem is that once in a while ill start it and it will stall out.. it was tuned about 15k miles ago...once i finally get it started it will idle around 500rpm which is way too low...thirdly at full acceleration i get a smell of exhaust ? any help would be apreciated..
