2003 Jerking/Misting while driving
I just got my truck Feb 14th 2014. All was good with it til about a week ago. Getting off the interstate there was a slight jerk or mist as my dad calls it while driving. Next days was getting back on the interstate to head to the next town over and it started the jerking again. It did it for a good bit and then finally stopped. I asked my dad to drive it as i wanted him to see what the problem is and because hes my mechanic(has owned his own shop since i was a baby) knows what hes doing and has worked on cars since he was 16. So he takes it, it does it once, BUT my check engine light isnt coming on so his meter isnt reading and codes. Well a few nights ago on my way home from work it starts doing the jerking and then shuts off on me at a light. It did it a few more minutes and then was fine. So once again i tell my dad to take it so that he can feel it again, this time it does it worse for him and he sees what im talking about. Says nothing is reading on his meter and no codes are coming up, hes put his little one on there and now the big one and nothing. So tonight on my way home this is the worst its been, it shut off on me 4 times having to pull over to re crank it and try to get home. At one point it was smoking a little. Please someone tell me that they know what the issue is or that its happened to them.. I am a single mom of 5 and this is my only ride, i cant afford to have my vehicle break down on me and leave me and my kids stranded... Any advice is welcome along with has it happened to you!!! HELP!!!!!
