bad mileage, stalling
« on: April 22, 2008, 09:45:17 PM »

Hey guys i have been having problems with the sebring. It has been getting like 15 mpg mixed with like 22 highway. It has a stalling problem but i got it scanned and these codes came up: p0123 tps, p0108 map sensor and p0401 egr flow or something like that. I know the tps is whats causing the stalling but my question is would the bad map sensor and egr cause the horendous gas mileage?

i know i say this alot but i'm not 100% how this works on these, with that said

the TPS could be the source of all the problems. if the TPS tells the computer that your throttle is somewhere else, it expects to see differnt results from the MAP and EGR, so it says they're bad too.

i'd go ahead and replace the TPS and inspect/clean the MAP and EGR, also seafoaming the intake wouldn't hurt(as per BV's suggestion)
