1995 Chrysler New Yorker Automatic 150000 miles

Recent subzero temps had a fuel line freeze. When it thawed, smoke a bit at first, added SeaFoam to full tank gas. Ran ok for about a week, since then it dies after warmed up. First time it did this, it had been running errand and been off and on for about an hour. Then while idling in parking lot it just died. Went a few blocks and died again. Once warmed up, dies, will restart a few times and run again for short time before dying - then starts but dies right away as if you can't give it fuel. Prior to freeze it was running rich. Also after starting fan tries to start but cuts out. Another problem for about a year is with heat system - seems to have a short - will run but not be turned on - have to hit panel and get it to actually come on to shut it off or run controls.

Welcome to the forum, as far as the engine issues, how long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used t loan out a fuel pressure gage. You can call and ask? Can you check for mil codes? You should be able to get some mil codes by cycling the ignition switch. You cycle key just till dash lites come on, no further. On--off, on--off, on, then the mil starts flashing, you count the flashes to get the codes. Your looking for two digit codes.
