Re: 2004 PT Cruiser automatic is very sluggish
Thanks all,yes the 2004 PT cruiser was given to me as a Christmas gift but they did look first for the turbo model but it was not available,so I am stuck with the non-turbo....named her Ruby. By sluggish I mean when I accelerate,lets say onto a freeway ramp, the car is very slow to kick into gear( it is an automatic transmission). Or when I accelerate in every day inner city driving,the car takes off very slowly. My last car was a manual toyota truck and I guess I am used to movin' fast when I wanna....cant seem to get that kinda response with Ruby. Opening the AirRaid breathing tube,extra tire pressure,getting new plugs and wires are good recommendations,I guess. Dont know their age as she was bought at a dealer. I have heard that the standard PT ( not Turbo model ) has poor pick up and acceleration.....maybe I just have to accept that?
