Running rough
Engine Performance problem
2001 Chrysler Sebring Automatic 130000 miles
When I leave for work in the mornings, my car runs just fine. As I drive around throughout the day, the car progressively runs rough. When I pull up to a stop light, sometimes the car idals down and sometimes shuts off. I have to restart it more and more the more i drive it during the day. When I come to a stop light and put the car in nutral, it usually stays running but the engin randumly reves up and then idals down....Any Idea what is causing this?
