Fellas,

I turned on my car this morning and when i began driving it the car just began jerking and the brakes didn't work well and smoke came out of the tailpipe...any ideas as to what i should start checking....??? Thanks Fellas

Did you have the check engine light come on?

Can it pull any codes?

Sounds like a vacuum line came loose, going by the brakes and stumbling :shrug

Also, what color is the smoke? And, is it pervasive?

I had a similar experience when a vaccum line came loose while driving around the block after rebuild. Car lost power and studdered a bit until I came to a complete stop and reconnected it back nice and tight. Weird that your brakes would not work though so just try to describe your situation a little better.

Give us more info....

Do you have any brakes at all? Are you sure you didnt just blow a line or something and the fluid blew onto the exhaust and caused smoke?

Just throwing something out there.

LOL! That made my day!

Seriously, what color is the smoke?

sorry fellas for the delayed reply...the color of the smoke is a whitish coloring... The brakes were not responding that well either and the engine was like over throttling...someone say vacuum lines should that be the first place to check?

Thanks Fellas

ok...I replaced the vacuum lines but when i start the car and begin to put it in drive it throttles on its own and the car begins to jerk as i drive slowly...the smoke problem is gone...anybody have any ideas...a sensor maybe???

Thanks fellas
