sup guys, new here as title says ive got a few issues with my moms 2007 laredo 4.7, 105k. Runs like ****! burns alot of oil. smokes like a 2stroke amd ticks im thinking a lifter. but it recently started with this idle problem. start in park idle bounces up and down to about 1300 then drops down around 500, and has even stalled out a couple times. but it drives ok. its been a problem for a while as my mom is a bit neglectful and funds are extremly tight. no engine light, until tonight. I was going through a parking lot going about 15 mph, came to a quick stop and the engine stalled out. it didnt bog down or anything seeming like a missfire, it just stopped like you turned it off. Shortly after i was on the highway going around 65/70mph, i herd a loud bang sounded like hitting a big bump the engine light popped on, rpms were at like 800, and there was zero throttle respose for a few seconds. I put it in neutral and rolled to a stop. I immediately **** myself (not literaly) as I pulled to the side of the highway. went to start the car again after about 3 tries i was on the phone with my boy with AAA. after about 5 minutes of thinking i was going to die i gave it a try and it started right up and i drove it home 10 miles no problem. Even stoppped to get gas turned it off started up and drove. but the light is still on. I dont know alot of much outside of my car i mean getting into these newer vehicles and all the low blinker fluid lights and fancy such hahaha and i dont have the slightest idea where to start or what to search for, i know all about google and search feature no luck for me. help is very much appreciated.

tthanks in advance, Matt

p.s. it happened at 9:05 p.m, I could literaly see autozone. im going to get the code scanned in the morning will update. bsa light (im pretty sure) is illuminated also and its got a ad solinoid in the tranny ive read seems to be quite common on these but im sure the problms arent related, or maybe wrong...
