Today when I went out for lunch the car started fine and worked then coming back the car is fully warmed up, running for about a half hour and I take my foot of the gas to turn the corner the car just dies, started it back up then parked it and sat about 4 hrs or so. Then I started it up, let it warmed up for about 5 mins before I get to the car, got in it and was running ruff so I waited about 10 more mins then it stalled. In the process of stalling the check engine light came on. Tried to start it, it did not really want to start . When ever the car dies, it is really hard for it to start. Got it started an let it warm up a little more. Took off, and it got home. It still was not running right. The check engine light is still on.
This happen about a week ago
I started it up to warm up to go to school was fine. It was about -10 to -15F and had the car plugged in. Got to the school fine, got parked fine. 45 mins later started it up after class it seamed to run fine, let warm up about 5 to 7 mins, took off got across the parking lot and it stalled. Started back up, which was a little hard to get started, got going again. Then I got to a stop sign and stalled again, then this happend about 4 more time again. It seams when it dies it happen when I take my foot right off the gas, it is almost instally dies. The I has to hold it up to about 2000 rpms to keep it running, then it stayed running. Then it has been fine for about 400 miles then it happened again with todays problem.
The car has only 62000 miles.
Anyone got any ideas?

I went and started it up tonight to see if it would act up and it did not. Started it, ran fine. Check engine light still on but let it warm up for about 5 mins and went to see if it was doing anything and the light was off.
I have not replaced the plugs yet, I was going to do that In a coupe of weeks during spring break. What do you usually do on a tune up with fuel injection? I have done a tune up on my camaro, that totally diffrent because its carburated.
I was reading a little over at ASEC and came across something close. Does this sound like it could be the crank postion sensor? Have other ideas which senor it could be?
I'm going to see if I can get it checked out in the morning.

It definitely is a possibility, ur idle air control sensor could also be the issue and I'm almost 100% sure. as for the tune-up, this would include getting the TB cleaned, new plugs, fuel system cleaning(lucas) new plug wires, may include tranny flush depending when u get it done which at this time is suggested (60k). new filter (im guessing u already took care of that) new fuel filter may be included also, but that's basically what's done.
Got it in today to have it checked out and its the MAP sensor. They has to order it so it goes back in to get it put in morring to put in and check to make sure there is no other probems.

uhh....MAF . maf = mass air flow = not on a sebring or avenger....
The other thing is was wondering, both times I brought my car in to get the codes read
1st time: was the tranny solenoid pack 2nd time: MAP sensor
Both times the computer got read this code was in it: PO645 - AC clutch relay circuit open or shorted. What does this mean? My AC has worked just fine for the 2 years that I have had the car. The first time I got the computer read was when I had the tranny solenoid pack which was 1 1/2 ago. When I use the AC it work fine, clutch kicks in, NO lights.
Have any ideas? Anyone know where this relay is if I need to replace it?
