05 PT Cruiser Not Running Rt?
It Jerks, wants to quit running but it does not! Does it upon aceleration. I guess you could say it hesitates, stubles. No smoke, no gas smell!
Just runs like crap. Check engine light is on!

I am thinking and leaning towards, coil pac, spark plugs & wirws. Kinnda guessing at this point?
Anyone else have this prooblem?

Get the code number for the check engine light first before you do anything

How many miles since last spark plug change?

Spark plugs are to be replaced every 30,000 miles and spark plug wires every 60,000 miles. Only copper plugs, Champion RE16MC or NGK LZTR4A-11 are recommended. Platinum plugs should not be used. High quality wires with 7mm core.

as said above...
1) pull codes
2) what/when has maintenance been done?
3) go from there

please don't just throw parts at the problem with out properly analyzing diagnosing said problem.
