The light comes on and stays on when the computer detects a malfunction and sets a code. The system needs checked with a scan tool to know possible causes.
No. Not until now, I haven't had any bad experiences driving my sebring.
crankshaft posistion sensor
It depends on the indicator. Check engine means the engine computer has detected a malfunction. The oil can is an oil pressure problem, a battery is a charging problem, etc
I just had this happen to me, it was the crankshaft sensor. If you have the 2.5L the motor will need to be cool to work on it, the sensor is under the exhaust pipe on back side of transmission. Good luck
If your car just shuts down even on the highway it is most likely the cam position sensor, I needed to replace mine for the same thing
My 2002 Chrysler Sebring has 154K miles on it and the front end rattles when it goes over bumps. When I jack the car up and push in and out and side to side on the wheels their is no movement. Nothing seems to be lose when I pull on the front end. I had the same problem on my 2002 Sebring Lxi Sedan. Problem was worn swaybar linkage and bushings. I had the linkage and bushing replaced and the rattling disappeared.
you may want to get the battery checked or get the ingition looked at
I had the same problem on my girlfriends car and it was a easy fix, the dome light switch on the door was not being pushed in all the way when the door was closed, so i put a screw in the door jamb where the button hit it and it fixed the problem, this will help push the button in more, and you should have no more problem with the dome light coming on.
Why engine stalls on 1993 Chrysler Intrepid while driving and sometimes at stops?
If it blows while driving, I would replace the fuel pump. If it blows when trying to start, I would replace the starter.
It is important for a vehicle to run smoothly, and give the passengers a smooth ride. The cause of this vehicle jerking could be due to lack of electrical flow, lack of fuel or the computer going bad.
could be plugged fuel filter Plugged fuel filter is a good possibility but if that's not it here's another. I recently had a similar problem (97 sebring convertable) where it my car would stutter while driving, ended up needing new plug wires as two of the old ones were failing intermittantly, causing incosistent firing of the plugs.
