Well, a number of things possibly. There are numerous sensors that correspond with the PCM which together keep the engine running at it's peak. If the PCM goes bad, it could effect just one sensor and make your car run bad, (stalling, overheating, taking long to start, never ending check engine light, etc), or the whole thing can be blown and your car won't run at all. Most of all, a bad PCM in any case will probably keep your car from passing emissions, because all the sensors connected to it are used to control engine performance and effectively reduce your car's emissions. Your best bet if you are experiencing intermittent issues like stalling, or rough acceleration, and have a check engine light that wont go out after replacing the component it calls for, it very well could be a short in the wiring to the PCM, or the PCM itself. Ask around for a trust worthy auto electric technician and have your Chrysler checked over.
