stutering problem on my PT any help would be nice

hello
my pt is a 01 with 96000 miles on it. under a load is seams to sputter
allmost like something is wrong with fuel? but i dont feel it at high rpms.
if i am sitting still i can turn on the ac and it will suttter again with a
load on it . pluge were replaced at 30000 with champion double platinum so i
know i am good their . i have checked all plug wires and their is no wear
anywheir on them. of course their is no coil wire sence that is direct. 1
thing it could be is that around town everyon is running out of gas and
getting new in good time . do any of you think i might have picked any
water or trash up from the bottom of the tanks? thanks for any help .

If you haven't changed wires yet.. do it.. Get rid of the double platinums
and put some real plugs in it like the owners manual recommends... my
Voyager 2.4 calls for plugs @ 30,000 miles.. Don't buy cheap wires.. set of
Mopars will run you about $70 they *are* worth it.

 

At 96000 miles you need plugs and wires again. You can't "see" the
resistance building up in old wires, them may look fine, but that doesn't
mean anything. At that mileage I wouldn't even bother testing them, just
replace them. If you still have a problem, the coil pack might be bad.

A can of STP gas treatment couldn't hurt, especially if you got some watery
gas..
Good luck;

The Champion dual platinum plugs are from the OEM source and are OEM
approved. They are a superior plug and should provide at least 70,000 miles
of good service. I agree that at 30,000 miles the OEM plug wires should have
been replaced with a good replacement set. I mailed a set from the MOPAR
performance group and they were superior to the OEM wires and cost less than
$70.00, if I remember correctly. At 70,000 miles my 01 is still running
strong.

My price is probably a worst case for the wires.. I don't shop around I have
a place I trade regularly... they aren't cheap however I have never had to
return anything to them because it was faulty in over 20 years.. They pretty
much specialize in OEM parts and have access to Chrylser's network and can
see where in the area a part is (dealers) and if it is available.. so.. I
trade there. I suspect you could get them at least $20 cheaper if you
chased around.. too old, too fat, too tired to chase any more.

I bought a set of the "double platinum" from Bosch once because the sign
said if I couldn't tell the difference they would take them back.....4
cylinder.. easy job... OK.. I took the challenge.. I couldn't see any
improvement and the car didn't start as quickly.. needless to say they went
back.. I didn't know about the OEM installed doubles.. Thanks for the
update.

Anyway.. I believe Chrysler calls for changing wires @ 50,000 miles...
ignition systems are very "hot" nowadays and it is easy to understand how
these things break down in short order.

Bosch does not make a double platinum plug! What you picked up was a scam
product sold by Bosch in the States. A single platinum plug with two instead
of one contact points made of conventional material. They also sell a scam 4
point version of this single tipped platinum plug.
