Engine dies after short stop
Hello. I drive a 1996 Sebring Convertible over here in Sweden and I have a problem. After having driven the car for let's say 20 minutes or more and making a short stop for like 10 minutes, starting up the car usually works fine but after just rolling a few yards the engine dies and the Check Engine light comes on. After this it can be tricky to start and it runs bad for a while but then returns to running fine again. The spark plugs, distributor cap & rotor, EGR valve and air filter were replaced not long ago. Any ideas on what can cause this?

If the check engine light is on, an error code is set. Get a code reader and read the code(s). Go from there.

Hello again. I have now used a OBD2 scanner and the code I get is P0106 MAP/BARO Circuit CKT Range/Performance. Will replacing the MAP Sensor cure this or could it be something else, you think?
Very grateful for replies as I wanna get my beloved car back on the road as soon as possible. Kind regards from Sweden! |
Codes related to sensors usually mean the sensor needs to be replaced, but it could also be a fault with the wiring. Check the wiring first, looking for a broken or shorted wire or a bad connector, either dirty or broken. If the wiring looks good, try replacing the sensor. Hopefully, that will do it.

Cheers mate! Just ordered a new MAP sensor from Rockauto which likely arrive over here sometime next week! Strongly believe this will solve the problem!
