Check the engine in neutral/park and depress gas and confirm engine is slow to rev up. If the engine revs in gear and little or no movement have the transmission checked.
this car is likely a drive by wire.(no cable between gas pedal and throttle actuator motor) Some one needs to observe the throttle to see if it advances when the gas is depressed.
The simplest analysis would be the connection to the engine computer with not a simple scan tool but a Chrysler proprietary analyzer to see the interaction of throttle position and engine RPM
Can you describe what you mean by "flat spot"? Do you mean that there is par of the rev range where there seems to be little power? Turbo engines tend to produce bursts of power when the turbo spools up. Does the "flat spot" happen at low revs? If so, your turbo isn't spooled up yet. As you accelerate and it fires up you feel a rush of power. just a guess, provide more details and we'll try to help
Hello! More then likely it's the Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) which, when bad, has these symptoms...You have the option of testing it, if you have a multimeter, or merely replaceing it ...Up to you... It is bolted to the throttle body with a three wire connector; Wire colors...Black (ground)...Green/Yellow (5 volts)...And Black/White (sensor out)...Set meter to read 5 volts...Push the point of a safety pin into the rear of the in-place connector into the Black/White wire slot and push until the point makes contact with the pin the wire is crimped to Connect the + probe of the meter to that safety pin...Connect the - probe to ground...Start the engine ...At idle must read less than 1 volt (.85)...Rev the engine slowly to full throttle...Reading must be 4.3 volts....If neither of these readings are correct ; Replace the TPS....See picture below...Guyru...Saailer
