#189 of 257 Re: Engine Malfunction Light Stays On [ptuser] by ptuser May 03, 2008 (10:33 am)
Replying to: ptuser (Mar 15, 2008 11:18 am) I have to tell everyone that the problem was solved first by visiting Auto Zone for a free diagnostics check which read out a bad power steering switch. I bought one there and took it to the local mechanic who installed it while I was at work. Thanks everyone.

Replying to: ssweatt (May 03, 2008 7:09 am) Did you read your owner's manual? I have a 2006 Caravan with the same 4 cylinder engine. In my owner's manual, replacement of the timing belt is required at 90k miles. I've got 30k miles on the Caravan. No problems so far (knock on wood).
#191 of 257 Head Gasket on 2005 PT Touring Edition by jfuchs May 16, 2008 (4:30 am)
I have a 2005 touring edition with only 40,000 miles on it. During my most recent oil change they told me that I had a blown head gasket. What I want to know is whether this is normal, has anyone else had this issue?   To me, with only 40k miles I would not expect a head gasket to go bad, too soon. And I certainly don't want to pay the 800 to 1000 that the dealership wants to change it! Replies to this message: tedebear (May 16, 2008 1:31 pm) jpf (May 23, 2008 8:27 am)

What I want to know is whether this is normal, has anyone else had this issue?   My wife has an 03 Cruiser with nearly double those miles and she's never had any problems with the head gasket. I don't think a blown head gasket at 40k miles is normal in any car.

Replying to: jfuchs (May 16, 2008 4:30 am) How did they come to this conclusion? Some of the symptoms of a blown head gasket are: engine over heats; mixture of coolant and oil in the cooling system; mixture of oil and coolant in the engine oil; or visible leaks where the engine block joins the cylinder head. If any of these conditins are present, then you MAY have a blown head gasket. Good luck.
#194 of 257 CHECK ENGINE by brains1 May 28, 2008 (2:21 pm)
Check engine light stays on. Checked the gas cap, put oil in yesterday, where do I find the code to tell me what the problem is. I have a 2006 pt Replies to this message: tedebear (May 28, 2008 3:07 pm)

Replying to: brains1 (May 28, 2008 2:21 pm) where do I find the code to tell me what the problem is.   Auto parts stores such as AutoZone used to scan your CEL for free in order to get your business. It's been a few years since I've had this done by them but I believe they still offer the free service.
#196 of 257 PT Cruiser won't always accelerate after I downshift by scott_a_ro Jun 01, 2008 (4:24 pm)
Hi,   I have a 2005 manual PT Cruiser with 25K. Sometimes when I downshift, it won't accelerate. I can push the gas pedal all the way in and nothing. Any ideas why it would do this?   Thanks, Scott
#197 of 257 engine hesitation-no check engine light by bspeebles Jun 03, 2008 (5:43 pm)
I have an 03 pt with 2.4 non-turbo and it seems to hesitate or surge while shifting from first to second or at least its most noticeable at that time. What can i do to fix this?
#198 of 257 Lose of Acceleration by jaball0 Jun 20, 2008 (8:06 am)
I have a 2006 PT Cruiser with an intermittent problem. About 2 or 3 times/week I lose all power. The car does not die and no warning lights are illuminated. The car continues to run but very rough. The accelerator ceases to function. Then after 1 to 2 minutes the car regains power. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times but they find nothing wrong with it. Apparently there are no error codes during the diagnostic. Last week this happened and I came close to being rear-ended by a tractor trailer. Has anyone else had this problem and/or know what is the cause?
