Engine shut down at idle, low RPMs, and cruising speeds only to restart again instantly by key or continuing along at cruising speeds.

While it is idling or low RPMs it will shut off, but start right back up. Also, while at normal speeds it will act like it's shutting down only to continue along. I suspect fuel pump or filter. I've found information on location of external fuel filters and internal in tank filters. Where is mine located and I'm on the right track?

    The Car is a 2003 Sebring LXi 2.7L Auto 144K miles. There is an external fuel filter. Not the problem.

When it shuts off at idle, can you still hear the humming of the fuel pump?

Testimonial: "I was have to say No because it completely shuts down. When at cruising speed it also knocks cruise off and RPMs drops and jumps back when gas is pressed."

replacing the fuel pump relay is one thing but what about the (ASD auto-shut down) relay

additionally...

  • what engine size?
  • what transmission?
  • any codes?
  • does the pump run KOEO?
  • Do you have spark?
  • What is the cranking speed?

SOURCE: does a 2007 town and country have a seperate fuel

the fuel filter is located inside the tank it is part of the fuel pump assembly.Some have two filters you can replace one without replacing the whole unit It is located at the bottom of the pump. Did you check you see if there is a warranty or recall? You have to drop the fuel trank to replace the filter or the pump. You need to take the fuel pressure to make sure you have a fuel problem.

SOURCE: engine dies in stop and

1999 300M 150,000 Miles

Car dies when coming off acceleration or at idle in traffic or at a stop. I can watch the Tach go to 0 RPM, some times it will restart immediately other times it is hard to start, so far I have always been able to re-start it and Drive on. Does anybody have verified fix for this issue, I have seen posts saying can and crank sensor, throttle body, EGR, and many more ideas... Do not really want to just start replacing parts with the hope that I eventually get a fix. Help...

How can I stop the truck from shutting down from idling bumping cruise up doesn't work

without know what engine and fuel system you have any answer is meaningless
but I will attempt to fill in the blanks
if it has a carby then set the idle off the throttle screw and set it to ( manual) 750 rpms ---auto--850 rpms
if it is EFI then run the fault codes to find the sensor that is failing and fix all the other faults
bumping the cruise( I take it that you tried to alter the cruise control setting) would make no difference as it is set at what ever rpms you have when travelling

Here are the most common causes of idle surge, rough idle esp when cold and stalls at stops, slow idle speed, erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake.

My 2002 GC 4wd automatic trans 4.0 engine shuts down only when the outside air temp is above 80 degrees. When approaching a red light / stop sign, I let off the gas pedal and at times it will shut down...

If a dealer can not fix it, we can't guess at the unknown

Now your involved with a dealer leave it there, until
they solve it. Somebody has to stay with it, to a successfull
conclusion.

You could ask around about repair shops that are good at
diagnostics & drivability issues

Rpms Too Low

the idle speed is controlled through the on board fuel injection control module (known as the PCM), even if u raise the idle at the throttle body the computer will slow it back down, however there is a problem that causes slow idle, do the following procedure to correct the slow idle issue, follow it exactly.

Dodge ram 1500 engine rpms surge at freeway speed

those sensors could cause the issue, clean the MAF 1st, also clean the idle system using the following procedure, the IAC can cause cruise surge. I use this to cure these problems all the time.
