I have a 2002 Sebring LXI Sedan with about 126,000 miles. I have had the water pump, thermostat & housing as well as the intake manifold gaskets replaced in the last few months. I went to the drug store today (about 4 miles of driving) went inside came back out and started the car up, I backed out of the parking spot and went about 5mph for 10 seconds and the car stalled, it started right back up but I was feeling like I had to apply more pressure to the gas pedal and I wasn't taking off as fast as I normally do. This has only happened one other time and that was at a red light. It was wet out this morning (if that makes any difference) also when it is colder out I am noticing some rough idling, especially if I am in park it shoots up to about 1500, it was about 50 out this morning and the idle seemed fine it was staying around maybe 800. Any suggestions as to what the problem is would be wonderful!!

 

any check engine light codes?

 

No check engine light, not yet anyways...

 

what engine size?

 

Has it ever stalled on the freeway? or just stalled at high speeds?

 

2.7 V6, this engine has been really good to me, contrary to what people say about it, the oil is clean.

It hasn't stalled on the freeway or at any high speeds. It stalls when I am stopped or going about 5mph.

Also I drove it home last night from work and the rpm's were surging as I was driving, it was revving up to about 3000 when I was going a steady 30mph. Pretty scary!

 

u should have a check engine light on if not there should be codes in the system get it scanned by a good computer from a shop.
