helene,

...and anyone else reading this thread. Please learn how to find the fault codes that the computer sets when there's trouble. These codes help us and you try to identify what's wrong with your PT. It's an easy thing to do even with no mechanical abilities. With the engine OFF, turn the key on and off 3 times with the last time leaving the key pointed towards the windshield. Do this turning of the key within 5 seconds from start to stop. If you do it right, the fault codes (ex: P0171) will show up at the bottom of the middle dial where the mileage number usually are. If no codes from the computer are available, it should read "no falults" or "done".
