2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Repair Question


Topics covered: Trouble code, Check engine light, Engine.
Mileage: 56,000 miles.

Asked on August 7, 2012

Why would my car hesitate and jump periodically like it is about to stall for a few seconds and then not stall?

It seems to be happening more often. Maybe, now 2-3 times within 2 hours driving time. I initially stopped using the air-conditioner and that seemed to help at first. But, it is still happening now.
Also, the check engine light has been coming on and off since I got the car three years ago. I have been told THIS is probably caused by a loose gas valve.

You need to get a scan done to retrieve the trouble code to understand what could be wrong.

Most parts outlets provides free scanning services.

Let me have the EXACT trouble code.
