Car Forum / Chrysler Cars / August 2007AC stalls Breeze
I have a '98 Plymouth Breeze, which I bought new. I forget the size of the engine, but I seem to recall its a small Mitzubishi six cylinder. For the past two summers, when I am moving slowly (like in very heavy traffic) or at a stop light, my car will sometimes stall when the air conditioner is on. In the space of a few seconds while going very slow or idling, the car will begin to run very rough, then simply stall on me. If I notice the car starting to run rough when I am moving slowly or stopped and I quickly reach over and turn off the AC, it doesn't stall. This problem is very annoying. When I restart the car (which usually takes two or three minutes), it runs fine the rest of the trip. When this problem first started to occur, I took the car to the dealer where I bought it. The dealer was unable to find a problem. Last year, I also took it to an independent garage to be looked at. They do good work there at reasonable rates. I took it there today again for a few items and I asked them to find out why it stalled. They called me and said they too found nothing wrong and they could could not get the car to stall. This stalling happens if the car has been running only a few minutes, orif its been running for a while. Does anyone have any ideas on what's causing this problem?

Stratus and Cirrus, sister JA cars, offered the Mitsu 2.5 sohc V6, but not the Breeze. > For the past two summers, when I am moving slowly (like in very heavy > traffic) or at a stop light, my car will sometimes stall when the air [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Does anyone have any ideas on what's causing this problem?

How do I get the car to stop stalling when the AC is on and the engine is near or at idle? >>> I have a '98 Plymouth Breeze, which I bought new.

I have no idea if this will help in a Breeze/Stratus. I had that same problem in a Mitsubishi, where it helped. The reason there was that the TPS was not detecting that it is in idle (the throttle fully released), and failed to maintain the pre-set idle RPM. idle air control motor may have a clogged passage or is not operating correctly > > > I have a '98 Plymouth Breeze, which I bought new.
