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 emoji

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.

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
