1998 Chrysler Cirrus Electrical system Problems

“My car will stall out in low or idol. It would just shut off. While driving and switching gears it will sound like its missing. I took it to get it smog. They said that the computer in the car was resetting every time I start the car. They also said that it was doing the same problem as the Chrysler Cirrus 1996 was doing.”

“Car stops while driving and also doesn't start on some days and not others. You can be going 60mph on the highway and car will stop for no reason and then start up again after sitting for a while. I've had an engine code reading with no codes showing. Replaced battery, spark plugs and wires, plume gasket, crank shaft sensor, rotor cap and button.

“Dt: on july 3 the consumer's vehicle caught fire. The insurance company hired an investigator and they found it started on the lock on the driver's side door.
