When I start my stang up in the morning or afternoon when I wake up, it starts up fine but jumps to 1500rpm and back to 1000rpm, then back up to 1500rpm does this a few times till it settles down to 800rpm (then idles fine). Thats problem number uno

I was driving to work after the car had been running a while. After stopping at a light and when the light turned green I let off the clutch but she almost dies on me as in needing me to give a **** load more gas to get her going? That would be number dos

The rear end has been kinda jerky laity as in letting off the clutch to use the engine brake in first sometimes second she will jump back in forth making me look like im mildly banging my head to some hardcore music. Thats number tres

The smell just started about a week ago. Im guessing exhaust leak maybe. She is starting to smell pretty strong like gas. I look around for an old beater driving beside me and its only me driving on the road. No codes thrown.



Been a few miles before my last complete tune up. I was thinking about doing oil, tranny oil, rear end fluid, spark plugs, wires, new IAC, new TPS, brakes and rotors, new fuel filter, oil filter. If anyone has any other suggestions on what else may need to be replaced or changed please let me know.
