My car cuts off and smokes after it reaches the normal temp. It runs good when it's ran cold. Once the car warms up it cuts off and when I finally do get it started I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal even when I'm at a stop light using the brakes and it will only take me about a mile before it starts to act up
