A while back, I posted something about to some car troubles I was having, and one of the suggestions was spot on, so i figured why not do it again.
I dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to vehicles. I can drive, change my oil, break pads, tires, and spark plugs. So keep that in mind.
All current known things wrong with my truck:
Faulty tire pressure sensor. (Those fuckers are 35psi all day long)
Bad rear O2 sensor. (Emission related)
Basically, my truck occasionally gets jerky. And the RPMs jump up without shifting. Almost like it’s not getting enough air or something. This happened a few times, I noticed when sitting places for extended periods of time with my truck running.
The other night, my truck was doing this again after I left a fast food joint, then stalled. I started it back up, and it was fine.
Tonight, I was driving and noticed a bad smell. Almost like, burning something. A cross between eggs and a hint of metal. Then it started the jerky shit again. I stopped, it jerked to a stop, and after letting go of the brake, it lurched forward aggressively a couple of feet, then stalled.
I started it back up, the smell was gone, and drove fine.
Things to note:
2009 Dodge Dakota, 4.7L V8
It could have smelled bad previously, but I keep copious amounts of scent trees in my truck at all times, so maybe it was just covered up.
This seems to have become a problem with cold weather, but I dont have a big enough sample size to confirm.
Any tips?
