make sure than the car has not any aftermarket alarm installed if it does have it remove it

SOURCE: Alarm on my PT Cruiser

Being that this is a 2008 pt cruiser, I would take it back to the dealership and let them look the car over!! Should be covered under warranty!!

You may sneak it out with small fingers with out pulling out the starter.

If starter removal is required,Just unhook the battery cables,Remove the 2 bolts holding the starter on.


Please rate this a fixya

My PT cruiser is a couple of years older, but I had the same problem. Drove fine, but start-up was erratic for several weeks. By the time  AAA arrived, it usually was working fine. But when it suddenly  started "struggling for power on the freeway and further along on the same trip, lurching (on a city avenue) I drove straight to my mechanic. It WAS the same sensor . . . and car has been driving perfectly ever since he changed it.
