Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Engine Troubleshooting gemmons1 User Mar 12, 2009, 3:18 PM Post #1 of 4 (3177 views) 1996 Sebring Conv intermittent idle problem Sign In I have a 1996 Sebring Convertible with an intermittent idling problem. It has the 2.5L V6 and 170,000 miles. When I try to start the car sometimes it won't hold idle. Once I get going it's fine, most of the time. Sometimes it will stall when I come to a stop, but not often. When I do park it will be fine, but if I turn it off and try to restart the car it won't hold idle, again only sometimes. Any suggestions?

Has it been long since the injection system was cleaned? This should be done every 30-40K miles.

It just started recently.

I'd be real careful about what you add to your engine and fuel system. Most of the fuels today already have degergents in them, and most additives, IMO, are snake oil.
