my wife has an 03 pt cruiser non turbo with a 5 speed.It has 79000 miles.the car stalls when coming to a stop or driving at low speeds.I have replaced the spark plugs recently and in the past the cam sensor several times.no trouble codes come up.I cant find any vaccume leaks.It cleared up after checking for trouble codes,but a couple days later began to act up again.?????

Have you changed the spark plug wires? If they are stock wires (came from the factory) they are poorly made and should be changed at the same time as the plugs. If they have been changed, you might have a problem with the IAC (Idle Air Controller). Helps maintain a steady idle especially when the air-conditioning is running. It's located on the back and attached to the throttle body.
