Default Re: Check Engine Light came on - code 1188?

Update PT Cruiser related item - Turbo Bog -backfire - misfire - engine power loss, etc.

This really bad bog has been getting worse since last April. The dealer basically could not read ay code so therefore was clueless and acknowledged it was there and they could not diagnose it. It was so loud that it sounded like a shotgun and scared the $hit out of my wife. It happened in every range and truly robbed the performance of the great engine.

So once it died the dealer had to replace the cam sensor (cam position sensor) and the crank sensor.

Now it does seem to drive much better without any turbo bog or backfires today. I hope that helps anyone else with the same issue. My car threw a P0340 code.
