Shakes or Wobbles problem
1998 Renault Scenic Automatic 58000 miles

Hi, I have had strating problems with my car before which was the crank shaft.

The new problem is this. When car is started it really jerks and wobbles. Like it is going to cut out, once I have either reversed or accelerated enough it stops and then drives fine. It has cut out before when it did this, because I had to reverse slowly.

then 2 days when I started it up it was quite smokey. Puff of smoke left behind. It hasnt done this since. Or before?

it hasnt had a service in 2 years. I plan to do one soon.? Any ideas?
