I have a 2008 Avenger that has been running rough sometimes, it stalled last week when I came to a stop sign. No codes, no check engine light. I changed the plugs and put some fuel injector cleaner through the tank. Which has not seemed to effected the problem. I saw a recall notice about the TPMS connections becoming corroded and causing similar symptoms. I have had the TPMS light come on alot lately (now every time I drive) I thought it just needed to be reset, now I wonder if this is actually my problem. If it is, then how do I verify that it's the cause and how do I remedy the problem. I no longer have access to all the diagnostic equipment and tools that I had when I was an Auto Technician, so any help will be appreciated greatly.

 

Baby,
