Hi my 2001 GMC JIMMY is shaking and wobbling and wont let me accelerate over 40 miles sometime, 6 months ago I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter dont know what could be the problem, car ran hot last month so I had the water pump replaced car stop running hot. Now I smell this weird smell when driving smells like some sort of battery or wires burning, when I press the gas peddle I hear a air sound or some sort of wind gushing sound it jerks and shakes and sometimes I hear a rattle, I am scared because this is my only source of transportation dont know what the problem could be please help.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
