Default car lurches

95 T/A lurches from around 5-15 mph. Any ideas? Also, it has quite a bit of exhaust smoke.... Thanks for any input.

Are your rpm's jumping up on their own when this lurching happens? If YES....there is only one thing it can be......IAC valve. Only way an engine can jump in rpm's on their own (other than a clutch letting loose, then re-engaging on its own somehow) is if more air is entering the intake somehow. No other way.

If you have a clutch issue, thats another story.

Whats the codes????
