95 Sebring RPM drops at 30-40 kms / hr by stande2

Hi,
 
I am new to this site and this is my first post. I have recently purchased a 95 sebring with only 101000 kms on it. it starts fine and has never stalled on me, but when it heats up and im going 30-40 kms and press the gas pedal the rpm's drop down from 2500 to 1000 and then climb back up 5-10 seconds after. The engine light also comes on soon after this happens and i cant drive an hour without the light coming on or the car doing this. it is cold where i live and when the car is running cold it doesnt seem to do this. Car idle's fine and other than this problem runs good. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
p.s. - i really dont think its the transmission it seems to be more of a fuel or electrical issue.
 
thanks in advance

difficult starting 1997 sebring lxi by 1997lxi

1997 sebring lxi will crank over but has difficulty starting, especially if the car has been driven long trip (20 minutes), engine turned off, then attempt to restart within 5 minutes. It has sometimes lost all power resetting my clock but I turn ignition key off, the on again and it will crank and eventually start. Once it starts car idles fine and runs fine. I have changed spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap. Not sure where to go from here. Has anyone experienced similar problem. Considering first changing crankshaft sensor then possibly distributor if that doesn't work. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I was going to suggest the distributor or the Crankshaft position sensor but your comment about "losing all power, resetting the clock", is confusing the situation. This sounds more like an electrical problem with possible even the battery, batter cables or wiring. If the battery is old, I would change it anyway.
 
However, you may want to read this forum. I started the post and it has about 50 replies.

Stalling 07 Sebring by naji07

I bought my 2007 Chrysler Sebring brand new and it will be a year old on March 28th. Within the past 2 months my car has been stalling on me while I am stopped at a red light or in rush hour traffic. Most recently while going 40 mph on a highway where it just shut down. I have taken my car to the dealership 3 times now and the first 2 times I was told there was nothing wrong with it and that they couldn't get it to duplicate my problems. The last time I was there, the dealership said that something came back on the diagnostic test and they replaced an "environmental filter" not sure what that is and not much of a description on the invoice. I was told at my 2nd visit that Chrysler is aware of the problem so I assume there are others out there with the same problem. I feel like I have a LEMON! Is anyone experiencing similar problems and does anyone have any suggestions???
 
THANKS,

Before investing in any expensive diagnostics or parts try the following.
 
Disconnect the negative cable on your battery and leave it off for at least 10 minutes or more. After you reattach the cable start the car and let it idle for several minutes while the computer "relearns" the idle speed and things.
 
I can't guarantee it'll fix anything but it's a free troubleshooting idea.
 
On a more radical note, any chance there's water in the fuel and in really cold weather ice is blocking the fuel lines or filter? You said this just started happening within the last two months. When it is inside the service bay at the dealer the ice would melt and they couldn't reproduce the problem.

I own a 2008 Chrysler sebring convertible. 61/2 months old, 3900 miles. It has stalled 4 times . Once while I was stopped at a light and three times while driving it. I am now afraid to drive this car. Car dealership cannot find anything wrong with it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Did you try my suggestions in the previous message?
 
My 07 Sebring is 7 months old with around 6,000 miles. I've never experienced any stalling problems with it. I love how well it handles in the snow with the ESP and traction control.
 
I hope the love affair last for many years.

I bought an 07 back in Sept. I took it in for a noise in the front end and told them that the car stalled on me while sitting at a light. They told me that it may have been some dirt in the gas tank that caused it to stall. The second time I took it in, this time for the stalling, they fixed the throttle body. (whatever that is lol) Again it stalled on me within 2 weeks of getting it back. I took it in this morning and they told me that they cannot find anything wrong with it. I called the dealership I bought it from and they told me that Chrysler is aware of the problem. It may be that it just needs some kind of software update. If that does not work then they don't have any way to fix it. I am going tomorrow to have them do the updates and will be letting them know that if they dont fix it I want my money back. I will let you know if I find out anything new. it is just aggravating!!

I wonder if these stalling problems can be traced to a certain engine. Is it the 2.4L, the 2.7L or the 3.5L that is having the majority of the problems?
 
Mine is the 3.5L and no stalling issues at all.
