You should have the computer scanned for trouble codes first. The codes may point you in the right direction to look for the problem.
Common causes for stalling is a dirty throttle body or faulty idle air control valve among other things.
Let me know what the codes are.

    The auto Shop tested the car and came back with the CODE P0129 *Baro pressure out of range low.*

    Well the code means the MAP sensor is telling the computer the engine vacuum is low when it should be normal. Could be a vac leak near the sensor, or a faulty sensor. This can also cause the performance problem you asked about.

    i"m going to get a voltmeter to check the volts to make sure that that is the problem before i buy the Map Sensor. That part runs from $79.99 to 104.99 but i feel that the info you gave is the problem. Thank. I will get back as soon as i do this.

First find where the leak is coming from. Check the bottom of the radiator first for white corrosion. If the leak puddles in the fron and you see white corrosion on teh bottom (fins) of the radiator, chances are you just need to replace it.

SOURCE: Check Engine Light

If the light isn't flashing, it is safe to drive. If it is flashing, then catalytic converter damage can result. Have a parts store check the codes for you and come back and post the code.

SOURCE: 2004 chrysler pacifica check engine light code

The codes are both evap system codes. The only good way to find the leaks is to take it to a shop that has a smoke machine. They will pump smoke into the evap system to find the leak.

How do i fix a key stuck in ignition?

spray with silicone, let set 5 min. use pliers to push in 1st than pull out but only very little like shaking it. after that try puling gently out. pins maybe stuck. if remover use straw and spray/soak inside of key cylinder. cover key with light coat of oil insert completely and remove several times with light oil. air compressor oil works good.
Good luck!

05 Pacifica stumbles during acceleration

check the manifold is not leaking on the intake side. also check and clean the intake top. carb clean helps to clean out all the muck out on to a cloth. also carb cleaner will help if you have a leak spray round the intake when engine is a temp. engine will cut out or speed up depending on carb cleaner used. were there is a leak.

Losing power

losing power can be down to an air leak spray some carb cleaner over the air lines and manifold. depending on the type of cleaner it will do one of two things engine will speed up or it will cut out. that will mean you have a leak spray the engine when it is upto temp normal running. usually around 10 to 15 min. were ever it makes a change in engine that is were a problem is.

My jaguar 2001 s-type cuts off when I sit at a stop light.

If the car starts again without trouble - it is probably an air leak on the inlet manifold or associated pipework. If the car is very 'lumpy'' then stops it could be a coil-pack or mass airflow assembly - also this fault sometimes triggers a gearbox fault warning as the engine and gearbox become out of sync. due to engine misfires.
The air leak fault will not always register in the fault code memory of the car whilst in its early stages. As the fault becomes greater - the engine will become hesitant - then stop. This is the time to spray leak detector spray around the pipes or manifold joints, as the spray gets 'sucked' into the leak and the engine note will change noticeably.
Hope this helps - good luck.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica-Air conditioning leak

The 05/04 Pacifica did not come with an elbow tube on the drain line for the AC drip pan. As you drive, the air flow into the tube pushes the condensate water back into the pan which is inside above the passenger floor board, the drain line is under the hood on the firewall. I spoke with the parts guy at the local Chrysler dealer, he sold me a drain tube for the 06 (~$10) and I installed it, wasn't too hard to do from the top if the engine is cold. The elbow slips on over the drain tube. Make sure to point the tube down. It only took one trip to start seeing water drip out of the tube and the floorboard started to dry up and almost three years later, the floorboard is still dry.

Take a can of carberator spray and spray it around the unpper intake area and near the throttle valve housing, listen for the engine to make a different sound, when it does you have found the leak. It may be minor or major there is no way to know. If you can't find any vacuum leaks replace the MAF sensor.
