The car recently overheated, and now it will start fine if i push the gas, after it starts it idles down runs fine for a couple seconds then ends up stalling, when you attempt to drive it you have to feather the fuel pedel to be able to gain any speed which doesn't gain very fast over a span of about one mile it can get to 40 miles an hour, it threw error codes of lean on bank 2 and a manifold code
You have a fuel delivery problem.
seems like an air-locked gas tank (remove gas cap as a test) or dirty fuel filter....

I had the same problem with my 1999 Chrysler Sebring 2.5L V6 Convertable. It started stalling at intersections; would lose RPMs' and die while driving it; and would not start unless it sat for a few minutes. Once it started, you'd have the scenario start all over again...
I hadn't kept up my maintenance schedule like I usually do, so I did the usual; I replaced my spark plugs and wires, changed the oil and filters, ect...
Finally, after it doing the same thing and wasting a ton of time and frustration on the side of the road, I took it to a mechanic that put it on his $9,000 diagnostic machine. The verdict; CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR!
The Haynes Manual will tell you wrong on its location for the 1999 Lxi 2.5L V6 convertable; it is NOT LOCATED BEHIND THE BATTERY TRAY. The crankshaft position sensor is actually located about 4 to 6 inches below the distributor, which is about dead center of the motor, on the transaxle housing.
You do have to take off the tire and the skirt cover to get to it. I had to purchase two long socket extensions just to get to the bolt that mounts the sensor to the transaxle housing; but it was well worth the 20 bucks...
All in all, it took me three hours to find the damn thing, and then to figure out what I needed to take the old one off and get the new one installed.
The $65 dollars that I spent to find out what the problem was is worth it....
Now, the car runs better than ever....

This happened to me at 53,000 miles. Its your air flow sensor. This runs at about $200 for the part plus labor.

since it is a 2000 there is no distributor. it sounds like you need to go to your local auto parts store and buy a fuel filter and good ol can of seafoam. your fuel injectors may be dirty.p.s. install fuel filter after seafoam ;) thats the trickp.p.s. dont do it in a garage-youll probably kill yourself. it will smoke some :)

Check for a vacuum leak at intake manifold either a hose or line busted or maybe the intake gaskets are leaking.
