Alot of things have been replaced under the hood. When I got it out of the shop it was running fine for a month or so. It really wouldnt start, No sound when attempted either. Took it to a mechanic and he fixed the starter cable. It turns on but when I drive it it puts and jerks. When placed in the first gear is the worst. It jerks almost as if its in the wrong gear which is what I thought however when I let it coast in neutral it still jerked. It also puffs alot of white smoke out of the exhaust pipes. PLEASE HELP?

Hello,

Ok, the white smoke from exhaust is pretty much a dead give away for a Blown Head Gasket.

Check your Oil. Is it over full? Does it look like Milk Chocolate? If so then yes you have a blown head gasket.
