driving what could cause this? I have a 1998 chevy suburban that was back firing then quit working while i was driving what could cause this?
it was running fine then earlier today I noticed it smelled a bit hot, while I was out just before it quit I stopped at the store and it was smoking, I decided to try to make it home and after just 2 miles it was backfiring it did that for a minute then quit. started back up when less than a mile back fired and quit again. I knew the O 2 sensor was going out and a power steering hose had a slow leak but i kept fluid in it and it was running fine.
what should I do other than call a mechanic LOL my husband can do repairs if I can tell him what it is needs done we have a book but I am not even sure where to start.
