It is using more fuel when it is cold, than warm. so i doubt it is the fuel filter. if the flow is inadequate warm, it would be even more so cold, that just does not make sense. i would look to whatever cold operation fuel enrichment mechanism as not shutting off when it warms up, too much fuel can make it run bad. olden days it was a choke not shutting off.

i had a 90s chrylser and the fuel filter was in the fuel line, accessible from under the car, kind of underneath the back seat. you may start to look there. if it has never been changed in 13 years time to do so even if it is not causing a problem. may be info on its location over on autozone website, they have a parts locator.

96 Chrysler Sebring convertible is 2.4 engine, car stopped moving when driving kept rolling but when I shut it off and start it again it drives for a few and does the same thing

Fuel filter clogged, or fuel pump going out, or perhaps bad gasoline! Check the fuel pressure, and check the CURRENT DRAW of the fuel pump!

1997 Sebring will start just will not stay running. If I put it in gear it will just die and even if I let it just sit and warm up it will run for maybe 1 min and then it dies.

Replace your filters. Fuel and air. Try just removing air filter and see if it runs that way. You can also go to autozone and get a loaner tool(you have to pay a deposit) to read the cpu codes and see if anything comes up there.

Car dies while driving

HI. this is a fuel filter issue. would have it replaced asap if possible. you should also, purchase a fuel additive to flush out the fuel injectors and fuel lines as well. Sea foam is a very good fuel system additive.

Due to the fact that this car is a 1999 model, i would change the fuel pump as well. this is good preventive maintenance.

One more thing, if you have not had a full scale tune up recently or, in the last 10,000 miles, i suggest scheduling one soon.

2005 chrysler sebring..car starts then dies...gas tank is almost full. help...what can this be?

Sounds like either a fuel pump problem, clogged injectors, clogged fuel filters, or a tune up issue. Start fixing the cheapest stuff first - the clogged fuel filters and injectors. Then check the tune-up specs, wires, and sparkplugs of your car to make sure everything is in order. Also, make sure your car's air filter is fine and air is getting to your engine. Finally, check the fuel pump. And dont think you always have to replace your fuel pump -- the wire to the pump may simply be loose or corroded. Good luck...

1998 Sebring cranks and fires but won't start?

I would put three cans of dry gas in the fuel tank. Let it sit for a few and then crank it over. The other issue may be that the fuel filter needs to be changed.
