most likely a buggered EGR...the fuel pressure regulator could be faulty and would not show an OBD-II code...have your trouble codes read....the "reset codes"~

Mine was the cam sensor. It's inexpensive to replace it yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iduYt-VfHE

I have a2003 PT Cruiser, I drove it home from work on Sunday and parked in the driveway. Monday I went to go to the store and it wouldn't start but is turning over. I pulled the starter and battery and the plugs. The started tested good and battery bad so I replaced it. Replaced the air filter and plugs too and then it still wont start! It still turns over but wont fire. I checked Fuel pressure at the test port at 80 psi and compression at the cylinder, all good. I am out of ideas and money is tight, what am I missing? Any suggestions? 2 Answers
