#31 of 133 Re: 98 Chrysler Sebring Stalls on highway rpms drop and dies [dtownfb] by buffetfan6999 Jun 20, 2007 (12:25 pm)
Replying to: dtownfb (Feb 19, 2007 11:00 am) I have a 97 Sebring Convertible. My dad is a mechanic and this thing has driven him nuts. It did same thing yours was doing. It would sputter and rpm would drop and come back and then drop again.. changed 2 distributors on it before we found out.. it is the distributor plug.. apparently the locking clip breaks and it wiggles out.. so makes it to where only a few cyclinders are firing. Check that big plug into the distributor. We found one on another 2.5 engine at junk yard and now it runs like a champ! Chris in Georgia Replies to this message: billg13 (Jun 20, 2007 8:15 pm)

Replying to: buffetfan6999 (Jun 20, 2007 12:25 pm) Chris, I am trying to find out if my problem is the same as yours. I have a 99 Sebring LXI convertable. I will be driving aroun 20-40 MPH and the engine kind of stalls. It seem to be running on 2-3 cylinders. I stopped the car and tried pumping the gas and nothing happens. I finllay shut the car off. trid to start it and the same sound, like it is trying to start on 2 cylinders. I left if off for about a minute and it starts like nothing is wrong. This happened 3 times in the past week. Does this sound like the same problem.
#33 of 133 Sensors Sensors Sensors Research Research Research by riiick Jun 26, 2007 (3:38 pm)
Been reading about problems folks have been having.   My other reading at Allpar.com says many/most problems are fairly cheap sensors, especially TPS (throttle position sensor) Crankshaft position sensor, and Camshaft position sensor, and lastly (?) whatever Chrysler calls the speed sensor that tells the computer that car is *moving*.   OH... and on older cars the Coil, and sparkplug wires.   A lot of these apparently won't throw a code, but you can check many with a multimeter.   Lots of problems are almost a joke - stupid corroded connections, and loose connections, things that are cured with umpty hours of thinking *where* the problem might lie, and 2 minutes cleaning the connector up.   There are tons of resources on the WWW to help -- don't throw up your hands and empty you wallet to the Dealer - INSTEAD - do your Research!   TRY (for starters) Click HERE http://www.allpar.com/forums/   Do a Google search for say: sebring starting problems   People have gone thru this crud before, answers are there, but you might have to devote several hours to finding them .... or luck out 1st try. GOOD LUCK!!
#34 of 133 No Codes showing for broken down Chrysler by gaffney Jul 10, 2007 (10:25 am)
My '97 Chrysler broke down just driving down the road. No automobile repair company has been able to figure out what is wrong. I have had the cam sensor changed, the distributor replaced and the car will run for about 10 minutes and then just die. No diagnostic tests is giving any codes or results. The car was in acceleration mode to pass another car when the car felt like the engine started chugging and like the car wasn't getting any gas. The tank was full. The car will turn but will not fire and crank-then we replaced distributor. Now it won't stay cranked and running. HELP!!!

#35 of 133 Re: 99 Sebring stalling whenever it wants to [nolan34] by sumira821 Aug 02, 2007 (9:37 am)
Replying to: nolan34 (May 14, 2007 12:30 pm) I have a 98 and it began doing the same thing. The dealership replaced the fuel injection system and some other things. It continued to stall at red lights maybe four times in six months and would jerk on the highway like gears weren't shifting. During a vacation I left it at the garage and someone actually caught it stalling. They described it as a problem with the "modules." They replaced the distributor and made a few other tune ups. Now it has stalled out at least twice a day since I got back and the shop doesn't seem to have any idea, they just want to expirement. Did you ever solve your problem?
#36 of 133 Re: Chrysler sebring with hub assembly problem [babydolls] by merober26 Aug 07, 2007 (12:30 pm)
Replying to: babydolls (May 03, 2007 8:42 am) Yes, the right front hub assemblys are notorious for failing, I've had a new replacement go bad almost immediately, then the next replacement is fine. It makes a grinding type noise like brake sticking to rotor, or road type noise. Very annoying I know. Go for the higher priced, better quality hub and you should be good to go. Mark
#37 of 133 Re: 99 Sebring stalling whenever it wants to [nolan34] by setspike99 Aug 09, 2007 (11:04 am)
Replying to: nolan34 (May 14, 2007 12:30 pm) I had a similar problem where my '00 convertible would just stall out w/o warning. I did some research on this site; someone replaced their crank shaft sensor and it worked for them, and I'm happy to say it's worked for me--it's been over six months now and no problems. The guys my garage tested the sensor and it didn't show a problem, but I told them to replace it anyway. If I recall correctly it's about a $300 job (LA prices). Hopefully it will work for you--good luck.
#38 of 133 Wanting Sebring Convertible real bad, but scared by carrie48 Aug 12, 2007 (5:29 am)
One mechanic I asked to look at a Sebring 2002 I was interested in, said, "If it has a 2.7 engine, I won't even look at it." Of course it did as has all the others I have looked at.   He said his aunt took perfect care of her car and one day at a red light it blew up. The motor had to be replaced because the water lines run through the motor and if they begin to leak, well it's ruined. Replacement was more than $4000.   My mechanic says that can be changed out. He just doesn't like Chrysler products.   I'm willing to buy one if I can make sure that change has been made. Does anyone else know of this problem and the remedy? How can I tell if it has been done already?
#39 of 133 car turns off while I am driving it? by johnjr101 Aug 27, 2007 (7:31 am)
I have a 97 sebring coupe it turns off when I am driving it, I was wondering if anyone else was having that problem too? someone told me that it was coil pack and then they told me that it was the distributor and then the fuel pump. I really need some help figuring it out the problem. Replies to this message: johnjr101 (Sep 04, 2007 12:27 pm) mrplayer163 (Aug 22, 2009 6:51 pm)
