I have a 1995 chrysler cirrus lxi. I recently got it running again and now it's doing something really strange. When I press the gas, it stumbles to accelerate barely lurching forward till it reaches 3 rpm or I floor it. It never did this before and i'm wondering what could cause this to happen. Thanks

How long did it set before you got it going again? Why did it stop running and what type engine and trans does it have, how many miles. It could have rust in the tank and water. Injectors could be clogged, plugs fouled, ect. More info might help you find what you seek!

It has about 125,000 miles on it, it sat for about 10 months, I had to replace the pcm and distributor. The way it runs, it's kinda like when you're driving a manual and you have it in too high of a gear at a low speed and it drags along until the rms get up high enough for you to take off. Oh and it has a 2.5L V6 with an automatic transmission. Thanks for the reply
