Drive from California to Maryland and you will find out stupid or use Map quest and they will figure it out for you, provided you know how many miles per gallon you get with your vehicle.

My Pt Cruiser has been hesitating when I accelerate and has stalled twice. This happens mostly when I am in stop go traffic. Also there is a flapping noise coming from the right side is this related?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The flapping is the gas door mine did it too till I installed a billet door now no noise.The stalling could be any number of things start by checking your plugs abd running a bottle of techron through the tank. The flapping sound is probably your engine backfiring, due to bad plug wires. I had the same issue on an 03 Turbo and couldn't figure out what it was. It would occur under heavy acceleration. The car would miss several times (the flapping sound?? when it punched the gas. I put new plugs and wires in, and the problem was corrected.
