PT Cruiser - What's the Best.....

mods you can make to smooth out the engine and give more power to a regular engine PT. There's a lot of complaints on the Internet about rough idling, surging, hesitation, etc. and I have that. That says ignition system problems to me but I'm "old school" regarding repairs.

How about a new ignition module, new coil....???? I just got an ad about Plasma Booster Ignition Module

Any ideas????

There are some good threads about ignition mods at

in the forum. Personally, I've changed to Champion double platinum plugs (part# 7570) and magnecor 8.5 mm wires. Many people are using a smaller gap, .040 to .045, rather than the .050 and find that this eliminates some of the problems you describe. There have been some people that find they have defective spark plug wires and/or coils.

Good luck! SRG

Jeez-- just don't suggest a K&E air filter here... I haven't had any major problem with two normal engine Cruisers with automatic, but I'll be curious to see what people do suggest

Hiya all,

'04 2.0 petrol UK had the rough idling and big hesitation especially after overrun. The dealer put in Bosch plugs 'cos they said that the Champion plugs were a known problem. This made a huge improvement and the dealer said that the occasional slight hesitation was down to the fuel computer re-setting itself and was normal.

Hmmmmm.
