Mine acted like this last week but only after it would warm up a bit. It was the TPS |

sounds like the TPS, check the battery/charging system while you're at it |

have the battery tested at autozone or something just to be sure because a bad battery can cause that symptom too but most likely it's the tps |

The only way I know to check the TPS or hidden error codes is to use a scanning tool. Would you happen to know somebody that could loan you one? There is a method to read the error codes from the dash. |

Same problem for the last few months. Changed spark plugs and it stopped. No error codes were ever generated. At least visible ones. Just changed my Battery yesterday from the original. Bought one from NAPA. The spark plugs seemed to do the trick. they were original with about 95000 kms (55-60 miles?) |

There is a method to read the error codes from the dash. I believe the most accurate way to check the TPS is through a manual test method that requires back probing the wires going to the TPS and i'd rather spend 30 bucks on a new TPS than go probing chryslers 'gauge too small' wiring |
