its a simple fix. take it to a repair shop and have them adjust your engine's idle level. because your idling really low if it stalls out. it that doesnt fix it. call chrysler and ask if you model has had any know problems. that will help you get pointed in the right direction. dont buy parts from the dealer. go to rockauto.com and buy the parts from there and then go to the dealer and have them install the parts that you bought.

Just replaced my son's 1999 Sebring distributor...had bought a duralast ($200.00) lifetime warranted one about 14 months ago. When I removed the distributor cap. I found the cam sensor cover was cracked. Took the whole distributor back to Auto Zone and got a one for one swap. Fixed the problem.

okay check engine light has been on for a couple of months with the code P2017. No problems.... Until last week... after a fill up the car wouldn't accelerate. Gave codes P2302,P2305,P2308,P2311,and P2017. Changed ignition coils starts rough but still will not accelerate over 20 mph. Removed Manifold and cleaned. Runners was stuck and wouldn't move; used intake valve cleaner and carb cleaner. Cleaned and checked sensor, it sprang back after cleaning with carb cleaner and WD40. put back together and it doesn't runs rough anymore, however the car doesn't accelerate over 40mph. Could it be the accelerator or the gas line? and still show the code P2017? 2 Answers
