I have a 2004 PT bought it in feb. Love it. But last week I noticed at a idol it felt like it was going to stall out on me. This morning I went to start it and it wouldnt start...It would try but it would shake like crazy...they towed it this morning...no answers yet the check engine came on when we tried to start it at the dealer...anyone else have this same prob??[xx(]

That's the first thing to do - no need to guess.
(but if we're guessing, I'll guess bad gas).

Hey maybe its some really bad problem that can only be fix with a new cruiser. Now I wouldn't really want that to happen but if it does your 3,000 miles lighter.

I got it back this morning and the prob was 1 faulty spark plug, and found cyl. mis-fire#2 and found ALL spark plugs gas fould... well they fix all that then I drive it home...fine...drive it to the stores UT OH the same probs with rough idle and when I shut it off to restart it...bad news it reacted the same way as before so needless to say its back there again....they are saying maybe bad gas.Ill have more news tomorrow THANKS GUYS!!!!!1

If it DOES turn out to be "bad gas", try to get them to change the gas filter (it's in the tank). Many times the bad gas doesn't just have water, but crud, and you don't want that getting to injectors or clogging the filter (which will rupture and let everything pass).
Let us know...
Another possibility if codes indicate a cylinder not firing is the ignition wires - they aren't the best - replaced mine with Crane wires (RaceAndStreet) and got rid of a "stumble" I had at about 20-25,000 miles. Now have 65,000+ miles, stumble never came back.
