When you start it it runs fine and it drives fine,,,,but when it idles in drive sometimes it feels like it going to stall,,,,,,just for a brief second...but keeps running...................not related but another issue is when taking off in the van i hear a clunk in the passanger side wheel area...and it happens everytime i take off

The stalling issue could be a dirty IAC valve. Read this how to clean the IAC valve post by stev.

The clunking could be a lot of things, a bushing, a ball joint, loose caliper, etc. That's something where you're just going to have to get under there and start pulling and pushing to find what is worn.
