Check engine turns on and stalls

2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser 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.

I'm, stumped! My car overheats only when I have to stop,as long as I'm moving its good,I know its the wiring to the fan,because when I wired it to a toggle switch, absolutely no problems even with the a. C on full blast,and being over 100 degrees outside! Anyone, have any ideas? Thanks,and God Loves you!

I don't know how to fix the. Code 0401

2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser Hatchback 180000 miles
I have a 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser with the check engine light on. The OBD-II scanner shows codes P0108, P1294, P1193, and P0401. I believe there may be a MAP sensor issue or a vacuum leak causing incorrect load readings, and the EGR system is showing insufficient flow. I’d like you to check the MAP sensor signal and wiring, inspect all vacuum lines for leaks or blockage, and diagnose the EGR valve and EGR passages for carbon buildup or failure.

ASD/FP 20A fuse blows only on revving the car will idle fine

2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser 2.4l Automatic Dream series 1 80250 miles
Changed the alternator since it gave a code for not switching power. Engine light is gone but wont rev past 2000rpm only light on dash is a solid red light and prior to the alternator the car would misfire at higher rpm around 5000+rpm. Also changed the coil,plugs,wires to try to fix this but the ASD fuse will continue to blow
