Everytime I start my avenger, it idles really rough and then the engine dies. I can rev it up to keep the rpms going, just to back it in and out of the driveway, but once I'm off the gas it dies. The exhaust smells really rich too. I've run the codes and it keeps saying a bad map sensor but i've replaced that twice already. I can't figure out what's wrong and neither can the guys at the shop who've been holding my car for 2 months!!
