Well, we loaded everything up and started towards Mom's house...got about 50 miles and everything started going South, and not just the direction. The engine started spitting and sputtering and just shut down. I got out and looked under the hood and didn't see anything (you know, just looking)...I pulled the dipstick and the oil looked good...water looked good. After my wife had her smoke I started it back up. It ran smooth as silk so we started down the road again. Maybe two miles and we were spitting and sputtering and jerking again. It shut down and would not start. When I tried to start it there was a funny smell and it never really hit. Had it towed home and cried (not really, but I felt about that miserable). Any ideas about where I should start?
