Check engine turns on and stalls

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2004  176000 miles
Hi everyone, I have a 2004 PT Cruiser 2.4 Turbo and after 2 weeks of usage, the Check engine light turned on. It kept working for a while but suddenly stalled. I tried to start it back but was not able; it seemed as though there was a fuel deficit, even though 3/4 of the tank were full. After waiting for 30 minutes, the car finally started, with the Check engine off. But the following day, it turned on again and this same thing has been happening for almost three months. Spark plugs, ignition coil, spark plugs wires and TPS valve have been changed; the oxygen sensor has been cleaned, the wirin… Read complete

Mine is a 2005 non-turbo which «kicks» and then stalls. MAP sensor has been replaced THREE times but the «cure» is always short-lived and failures occur randomly and in very inopportune locations like the fast lane of a major highway! I'm now told that replacing the MAP sensor was not what «cured» the problem but the RESET of the computer (which is part of the MAP sensor replacement process) is all that was necessary. I'm now looking for my own Diagnostic Device so I can reset the computer when it has its next hissy-fit.

p0700 and p0128

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2004  98000 miles
My car's dashboard indicates malfunctioning and, when reaching 40-50 mph, the overdrive won't enter and it stops there. I then change the car to Neutral or Parking, start it again and it works properly for a while. After some minutes driving, the same scanning failure presents and the codes p0700 of the transmission and p0128 appear. I've disconnected the battery, cleaned the computer's connectors and changed the radiator's lid, which had some leaking failures, but the problem is still there.

Hope I can help you because pt cruiser's failures are usually simple. In the engine, right in the inferior part of the air filter, some relays are located. There is a specific one for the automatic transmission, which must be failing. You should change it and the problem should disappear. In case it is not that, you should then check the harnesses that are connected to the transmission, which usually get damaged.

Electrical failures

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2006  110000 miles
Hi, I have a PT 2006 and hope someone can help me with the electrical failures it has been presenting. Sometimes, when turning the ignition key, it is only after the third attempt that it starts. Occasionally, all the speed selector's lights turn on and no speed change can be made and it only reaches 40 mph and 4000 rpm. Some other times, the dashboard indicates Gas cap, the battery signal turns on and even sometimes the car stalls when driving. The front door windows sometimes stop working, but then I stop the car, start it again and luckily they start working properly once more. I personally believe it has something to do with the electrical part of the engine starting. What do you think? Thank you in advance.

Your problem is the battery, check it because it must be failing. The transmission is electrically controlled so, when not having enough electrical current, the computer starts failing.

Battery would not cause your problems while driving. Check the ground forst

Dashboard's red light

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001  116398 miles
In my car's dashboard, a red light turns on right in the middle, where the gas and temperature needles are located. My doubt is, what does it indicate?

That red light is the central locking's response. It turns on the moment you introduce the key and turn the ignition. It is the signal that the key is recognized. When you close the car, the light remains blinking, meaning that the alarm is activated.

Won't start after replacing oil pan

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2005 Touring edition  197000 miles
2005 pt cruiser, our daughter ran over a concrete rock and punctured the oil pan. It was never driven after this happened because it wouldn't crank and she was not aware it damaged anything. It sat there where she parked it for a few days until we could get it towed home. It still had a bit of oil in it. So, we've since replaced the oil pan,oil, & gasket. Thinking that it was the only thing damaged and it would start right up, but it doesn't. It turns over, and sounds as if it is going to engage and start but doesn't. I'm wondering what else could be damaged underneath that could cause it to not start? Or maybe a hard enough jolt that could have jarred something a loose?

kicks, p0562, p0218

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2006  90000 miles
I usually drive without any problems in the morning, but suddenly I start it and, when trying to speed it up, it feels as if the car kicked. I then drive for a few meters and Check engine is indicated. When scanning it, these two codes appear: p0562 and p0218. Both the battery and alternator have been checked but they are ok. I have been told it might be the computer that is failing. Has somebody had this problem?

Your problem must be in your fuse module, that feeds the transmission computer. You should check this.

'05 Cruiser; paid $3k in Dec '21 now I've got $7k in it for AAA' tos

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2005 Automatic 2.5 124404 miles
Bought this 05 cruiser from a snake oil salesman from a craigslist post of $2985.00 with who claimed it would last me a long time as long as I took it easy. Instantly dismissing the shaking that I felt in the steering wheel at approximately 30+ mph from the first test drive. Said oh that lil shimmy, it's no biggie I just drove it to ___ (city 1hr away) and it drove fine. Then the very last thing he showed me before I drove away in my newest craigslist investment was how the ignition would lock the key unless I jiggle thr gear shift (then it releases the key it like a normal ignition does when… Read complete
