Inspect pugs for propper gap, cracks... check wires for arching and replace as needed. Verify firering order is correct.

Replace your Fuel Filter and see if it does not Help. Even a Partially Clogged Fuel Filter will cause this Problem.

SOURCE: 2005 pt cruiser... it sputters and won't idle well

That is the first thing i would suggest you do. Replace all the spark plugs and the plug wires. Those 2 things are the most commen thing that cause misfires.

Do you know how check the engine codes? Turn the key 3 times and the codes will be displayed where the odometer number is displayed.
If the code is 302 it is spark plug mis fire.
It could be a bad fuel injector.

SOURCE: My 2003 PT cruiser's engine light came on, then

Find your air mass flow sensor in the stiff collar of the air ducting immediately after the air filter. Have the engine running and disconnect the plug to the MAF. If this makes the car run evenly again you need to replace the broken MAF. The misfire on plug 4 I think is a downstream event of the MAF not sending the right info to the ECU and consequently not providing the right fuel / air mix to the engine

2004 pt cruiser turbo idling and running roughly

c99fd777-e303-4157-9a0b-18509a067e72.gif you would need to do a running test. but if its worse with new injector. then it can be the dispack fault. it feeds the spark plugs. have seen some were the unit has leaked. and made like a cement on the shaft that is the inside of it come out and dropped down the shaft. also the rubber will go white like water marks. check them to make sure they are the same if it does look like what ive said change it. they are not dear to replace.

2005 pt cruiser rough idle when ac on

The ac compressor pulls a good number of horses from a 4 cyl engine.
Any minor performance problem is amplified when the ac is running.
You probably have a weak spark plug or wire, or an issue with an injector.
Is the check engine light coming on when it is rough ?

I CHANGED THE TIMING BELT AND SPARK PLUGS AND WHEN I DRIVE THE PT CRUISER ON THE FREEWAY IT DRIVES GOOD BUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP THE PT CRUISER RUNS BAD

Does the vehicle turn off, run rough, or hesitate?

It sounds as though you have a faulty Idle Air Control Valve".

Have code P-0301. Engine has rough idle, like a mis . Happens at stops and backing up in park or drive.

P0301 IS A MISSFIRE CODE FOR # 1 CYLINDER
IT COULD BE SPARK PLUG, STOPPED UP FUEL INJECTOR, COIL ( IF COIL ON PLUG TYPE ), OR PLUG WIRE . COULD ALSO BE A BASE ENGINE PROBLEM VALVE , BROKE PISTON RINGS, ETC.

HOPE THIS HELPS
