Does it down shift appropriately when accelerating? Normally when you stomp on the gas while in a high gear (travelling at 40mph), the transmission will downshift to a lower gear giving the car much more torque. This can cause the car to jolt or jerk forward and accelerate suddenly.
If this is way off base and you\'re experiencing something else, please let me know
Depending on what kind of truck you have it may be the distributer. I have a 72 ford pk and same problem. Changed points and same problem. Changed distributer and fixed problem.
Hi there, it could be a change of spark plugs will solve your problems. I'm driving one too but found that it jerked when accelerating. So I read up and presumed that the old plugs might be the cause. After changing new spark plugs, it doesn't jerk anymore.
wqithout looking at it directly , could be neglect to the car it self, clean them batt, cables not just the outside of them take them off the battery . clean the right , ck the wires make sure thay are also not corroided , as for the running like **** , sounds lik maybe a vacuum line came off , could be bad sparlk plugs wires etc, if it just happened in a spur of the moment thing , I would ck those vacuum hoses , something like tha will make it run like you are saying , tune it up , plugs and wires etc, clean it so you can see it .listen for any strange noise and do be carful
