Why does 1998 Plymouth breeze stall?

Answer 1

In accord with my own experiences, the five-speed standard transmission Breeze will stall if there is too little acceleration (RPMs) as you let up the clutch too quickly. When this occurs, more likely during the warmer months of the year, and you immediately try to start again, then the fuel injector system dumps a second spray of fuel into the engine which wets out the plugs by what is called "flooding". In fact, the more times you try to restart, the greater the "flooding" becomes. To prevent the problem in the first place, listen to the engine RPMs as you properly let up the clutch. But the fastest remedy when stalling does occur is to sit and wait for the plugs to dry off before turning over the engine again. This could take up to five minutes, so if you're in traffic, put on your four-way flashers and don't let anyone in the car open any doors. Stay put while you're waiting for the plugs to dry off, or immediately call for help.
