Problem overview

Some Chrysler Sebring owners report experiencing hard startup issues, including sputtering, shaking, and a blinking check engine light after replacing multiple components. These problems may stem from various factors, such as fuel system issues like bad fuel quality or a clogged fuel filter, which can lead to sputtering and difficulty starting. Additionally, owners have noted that faulty spark plugs or ignition coils can cause shaking and hard starting. Malfunctioning components like the MAF sensor may disrupt the air-fuel mixture, exacerbating sputtering and rough idling. A blinking check engine light often indicates a serious engine problem that requires immediate attention. To diagnose these issues, some owners recommend checking for trouble codes with an OBDII scanner and consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection. Promptly addressing warning lights is crucial to prevent further complications and ensure the vehicle's safety and performance.
