What makes engine jerk and die while driving then

Hello, first thing I would look at is your electrical system. If your battery is drained, then there is likely a good reason - such as a charging system that has failed. Test your charging system and troubleshoot the cause.

Sounds like the alternator has failed. May need to replace battery also.

I would look into your alternator

Would also look at Codes for the evaporator system. Could use diagnostic and smog test. Would be glad to offer 773 549 7777
