Why would my car be dieing while sitting at a light?

Asked by Angela Mar 26, 2014 at 12:06 PM about the 1994 Chrysler Le Baron GTC Convertible

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1994 crysler le baron. I was sitting in line at a stop sign waiting my turn and all of a sudden my car just died. I put it in park and it started up but it wouldn't stay started. I put it in nuetral and started it but i had to keep my foot on the break and also rev up the engine. I worked 8 hours and when I left to go home, it was fine no issues. What do you think might be going out on it?. I have already replaced the transmission so I know that isn't it.

Test the battery's voltage to see if it needs a new battery. If the battery is good then it could be the alternator.

My car is a 1988 Chrysler Lebaron Turbocharged, fuel injected, 59,000 miles in excellent shape. Generally it runs great most of the time. Problem is, at infrequent times, it tends to simply start running rough (when engine is HOT), especially when using the air conditioning. This also has happened once or twice when it was raining out. Engine seems to get "out of sync" for no reason and dies out when I slow down in heavy traffic or come to a stop. I had a complete tune up about 7 months ago. No problem dieing out when car is cold. Just after is is has been running a while and is very warm. Any advise? Thanks - Jim S. 4 Answers
