| Shortly after starting car, and within a couple of miles, the throttle occasionally stops responding for about 30 seconds and the car will only idle. i have taken to the dealer 4 times, and there are no codes, and occurrence is intermittent and dealer cannot get it to happen. so chrysler will not do anything about it. this has happened 5 times. the last time it happened when stopped at a light, and could only idle for about 80-100 feet while semi-truck was coming up behind me. | |||
