Hi Guys, got a question. Leaving my brothers house last night I had a problem that never happened before and it's an "01" with 121,000 miles on it. When I started to accelerate my PT bogged down and almost stalled. I put it in neutral and revved the engine and the rpms came back up, but the inside of the car filled with strong gas fumes. I drove home 50 miles with the car driving like new. I was wondering if I'm looking at a potential problem coming at me. Put new wires, plugs, pcv valve, egr valve and air filter in the last 6 months. I either want to fix it or not worry about it. Thanks

May have been a "one time" thing. Just watch to see if it happens again. Could have been a stuck injector ?? Did the check engine light come on ??

Thanks for your replys. The engine light didn't come on, but I haven't checked the fuel lines yet. Had to run some errands today and it ran fine. Yesterday when it happened, it smelled like a lit match would've blown the car up and today it wasn't there. I'll check under the hood tomorrow, Thanks again. Hey Ron glad you going to Bama!

This is just an update. After a few more problems with gas fumes and stalling, I filled the tank and poured a bottlel of Lucas cyl.lube and fuel injector cleaner in it and by the time I needed to refill the tank it was running like new again.
