How many miles? Have you changed plugs and wires ? NA or Turbo? Did you buy it new or used? This info may help us help you.

murman40, one of the biggest complaints PT owners have is the crappy plug wires that Chrysler uses. Many of us in the states have went to Performance Plug wires available from many sources. Iridium plugs have been used. I am only familiar with a Non Turbo, but I believe the plug gap has been changed on the Turbos also from .050 to .040, if not, some else on here will correct that.

If you do change plugs & wires use dialectic grease on the wires and anti seize on the plugs before you torque them down.

For irridium plugs the gap should be .028-.032. The stock wires suck.
