So I'm on a few hour trip today on hilly interstate. I'm not towing anything, but I do have a hitch mounted bike rack with two bikes on it. After about 2 hours driving today, the 4runner started jerking and bucking wildly. I pulled over and as soon as I stopped, it died. I let it rest for a few minutes, started it back up (It didn't want to start, but eventually did) and drove another 10 minutes. Repeat previous scenario. This time though the gas light was on (Even though I have half a tank). Pull over, rest, go. Repeat 4 times. Currently sitting at a Mcdonalds trying to research wtf it could be. I've got another 50 miles to go and I need to know what to do once I arrive where I'm going. Aside from the gas light, there are no other electrical issues happening. And the light turned off once I restarted and hasn't turned back on. Once the truck starts jerking, I am 100% UNABLE to accelerate. The truck just stops responding to the accelerator. All I can do is coast to the side.
Any ideas of what to look at once I get to my destination?
