I had that happen 50 years ago when I was in school. I got out of the car and shut it off.
The motor was VERY worn and low on compression. As I walked around the back of the
car, it had been left in neutral I could heard the sound of compression coming very slowly
out of the exhaust pipe. I lifted the hood and the generator was turning the motor over
it would move then hit a compression stroke and sit there for a moment then the motor
would turn one cylinder at a time. Ka chuff-------Ka chuff
I hit the cut out with a screw driver handle and it stopped.
