Hi everyone,
I have a not so big problem that I want to see what other people think about it. I bought a 2005 PT Cruiser GT a few months ago. It has about 6500 miles on it. When it is slightly cool out, maybe 50 or lower degrees the car will start with no problems and the idle seems fine, but as soon as I put it in gear it will sometimes almost stall out! It catches itself and pops the idle up before it dies and does this in a cycle about 4-5 times and then it is ok... and drives fine???
I've noticed a few other things too. I owned a 2003 PT GT a little while back and the way this 2005 chimes when the ignition is turned on has me a little suspicious. When the car is turned on there are the normal series of chimes, then about 10-20 seconds after the car is turned on one random chime occurs. Is this normal? I don't see any check engine lights or anything, but it seems like a late chime that is suppose to mean something??
My last question to fellow GT owners is when you are at a stop light in the morning and it is dark out do your headlights and cluster gauges flicker a little? Mine do
My first guess is something... somewhere... might be grounding out. My gut says something might be up with the o2 sensors and just to eliminate that off the list I bought a pair since they were pretty cheap (<$50)and will be installing them soon. Any ideas? [:I]
