I can be driving and 30% of the time when I stop at a red light the car will start to shut down like its misfiring rpms will go from 600 to 1000 down to 200 back up to 700 then shut down. I've taken it to Chrysler and the Crossfire trained tech and he says he can't find anything wrong with the car. Any help would be great!!!
Thanks
Sounds to me like an ECM perhaps, or something with the alternator. The reason I say that if this happens the majority of the time on an incline, but not on the flat, then something is loose, falling backwards and making contact somewhere to ground itself as if it were still running. Try parking it backward on the incline and see what happens The red light deal is more something to do with the continual electric circuit in a standard running auto. Intermittent, but there probably is a common denominator for WHEN it happens. but maybe not. Chrysler had an issue in the 80's where you're motoring along and it would do something like this at the MOST inopportune times, like coming off a ramp, or thru an intersection, and it would just die. I really don't remember what exactly it was, but it would do the same.
As far as the red light goes, you may want to swap a MAF sensor. I had a Buick that didjust that as you describe, on a regular basis and it was ALWAYS the MAF. Good luck. They can drive you crazy
