a  subtle clicking sound and when you first start it up it will stall unless
you put it in reverse or drive. is this an idle adjustment, something wrong
because of the excess oil? any help would be great....

loud clicking sound when accelerating. keeps stalling and isn't running that
well. so far in the past month i've had the distributor cap and rotor, fuel
pump, and vacuum hoses replaced. i have no idea what the problem could be.
lately it seems to run okay for a week or two and then s#@% the bed. excuse
my french.
