The car had started jerking and shaking went to pull off the side of the road, then it died. Wouldnt start. Had it towed home. And when you go to start it, it will start but will only stay running for about 2-3 seconds. Brother said it probably the timing belt. Some one else said that if it starts then it isnt the timing. What is your suggestion.
