If the engine runs cold you might try replacing the thermostat. I had a similar problem with a Plymouth van, at low rpms, turning corners,,, it would stall.
There are several things that can cause your 1996 Ford Explorer to stall in start hard. The most common cause is a fuel pump that is going bad.
That means the timing is off and you should take it to your local ford dealership to have it done.
Mass airflow sensor is dirty or needs replaced. Try that first.
transmission filter not properly seated in the valve body, causing it to stall when engaging reverse gear, wouldnt have believed it if i personally hadnt experienced the exact same problem myself.
get an engine diagnostic check, a lot of different problems can contribute to your situation.
No, that would indicate transmission problems, is it a standard or and auto?
first thing i would check, is that the choke is turning off completely
A 1996 Ford Explorer has shock absorbers , front and rear , the cost would vary according to the manufacturer
