Default Lurching PT
A friend of mine has a possible problem with his PT, and I thought there might be someone else who has encountered this symtom: It's an automatic, and when comming to a stop, it seems to get a shot of gas and jumps forward. It has happened in 1st & 2nd gear. Computer problem? Looking for a quick remedy before taking it to hopefully, a qualified tech.
thx in advance.

First I've heard of that problem.
Good pic of Lurch though. He's my hero.

I have been trying to duplicate that problem by stepping on the gas peddle.

After a couple of hours of asking around, this is the first that anyone has heard of this problem... including Chrysler. In fact, no one can fathom how it's happening. If these babies had a carbuerator, I could imagine the fix.

The only time I have ever had the sensation you're speaking of, was because of a bad tank of gasoline.

I have had a similar sensation in other cars when the automatic transmission is late in downshifting. Is it Auto or Standard transmission?
