Re: jerking 30x
You have a tear in your intake hose. It needs to be replaced. When you take off, the engine torques backwards and it stretches the hose, opening the tear. When the engine stalls from the leak, the engine leans back forward and seals the tear (partially, anyway). When the tear is partially sealed bac...

Re: car stalls out in neutral.....
BRO, <BR> check your air intake hose for rips. They're hard to see on the car.. take the hose off and flex it while watching the accordian part. If there is any leak at all after the VAF, your idle will bounce so drastically, it will kill the car.

Re: distributer problems?
Just a stupid question... have you checked in the bottom of your spark plug tubes for oil? Mine leaks enough to short the plugs about every month and a half. If there's any oil at all, stick a rag down the hole (with a long screwdriver or something) and soak up that oil.

Re: CV joint $$
Are you mechanically inclined? Can you do your own brakes? They're easy to do. You can pick up a half shaft (drive shaft, 2 CV joints, one assembly) for $77 from NAPA. Then you just pull the wheel, rent a spring compressor and spindle nut socket from Autozone, compress the spring, remove the two top...

Re: white smoke
White smoke could also be burnin' oil. Bad rings, bad valve seals, etc. Usually burning coolant is a thin, whispy kinda almost steam. Is it SMOKE?
