I have a 02 cruiser. 2.4 non turbo with 154k. im not sure what the problem could be but it hasnt been running very good ever since i got it about a year ago. when i first got it the check engine light was on and it read p0601. i was told it needed a new PCM (kinda spendy). i had that installed and it seemed to not help at all??? I also replaced the plugs and wires. it dies out while idling and while going down the road but usually starts right back up except a couple times it took a few minutes. i can feel like its missing or something while going down the road.. but then sometimes it runs fine for days at a time then all of a sudden it will run crappy again??? any info or help on this will be appreciated. thanks

Ever had injector service? You can try a can of injector cleaner and it might help, but the professional service works better.

A few years back, we had an ASE Master Certified Mechanic who owned his own shop and ran a NOS equipped PT Cruiser. Sorry to say he isn't around anymore. He once told us, if I remember correctly, that the codes that show up on the dash when there's a problem are all related to emissions problems and that includes a bad plug or wire or anything that would make the PT run bad and affect emissions in one way or another. There are plenty of other faults that can affect the way the car runs and can only be accessed by a scanner and of course there's faults that aren't monitored by any kind of sensor and won't show up on any scan.

Get a fuel pressure gauge from Sears / etc., route it up to the hood opening
area so you can view thru windshield and take for drive. Gotta love the dealer- It needs a new: (spin parts wheel) PCM! Get a new crank position sensor and Cam position sensor, order the most expensive Standard Motor Products from Rockauto.com or get the numbers from them and go to a local speedshop. |

ok today i was driving down the road all good n fine and all of a sudden my pt started to jerk, spit, and sputter. it has been doing this normally every once in a while. but this time seemed a bit worse than usual. then the check engine light came on. when i got home i checked it out and the only code was p1391. think this has something to do with it??
