96 chry sebring convert. jx 2.5l, 155k, new eng, new trans
situation has happened 4 times in 6months, fuel tank has had 1/2 tank or more. driving along at any speed. car becomes "sluggish" increasing accelerator does not result in acceleration. car slows, depressing accel. does nothing, response is flat. eventually car comes to a stop. Engine still runs and now service engine soon light comes on. attempts to accelerate engine dont work. engine quits. will almost start, or does start but will only idle. depressing accel. causes stall. Let car sit for 15 min to overnight and starts up and is "normal" (accelerates, drives, idles etc.). I had the fuel filter changed the first time it happened. The same time and every time there after I have disconnected the fuel line at its entery to eng. compartment and collected fuel to visually look for water, dirt etc. abundent fuel when engine is cranked, fuel is free of water/dirt. Ideas?
