I got a 2.4l, hard to started,you have to easy down on the gas.going down the road it will not go over 60 mile per hour it will buck
To recap, it sounds like low fuel pressure, so I would get the fuel pressure checked.

Had the same problem with my 2004 lx 2.7, code reader said cam position sensor, replaced that $30 @ autozone. 2 screw on front of engine, easy fix and no more jerking

I had the same problem with my 1999 Chrysler Sebring 2.5L V6 Convertable. It started stalling at intersections; would lose RPMs' and die while driving it; and would not start unless it sat for a few minutes. Once it started, you'd have the scenario start all over again...
I hadn't kept up my maintenance schedule like I usually do, so I did the usual; I replaced my spark plugs and wires, changed the oil and filters, ect...
Finally, after it doing the same thing and wasting a ton of time and frustration on the side of the road, I took it to a mechanic that put it on his $9,000 diagnostic machine. The verdict; CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR!
The Haynes Manual will tell you wrong on its location for the 1999 Lxi 2.5L V6 convertable; it is NOT LOCATED BEHIND THE BATTERY TRAY. The crankshaft position sensor is actually located about 4 to 6 inches below the distributor, which is about dead center of the motor, on the transaxle housing.
You do have to take off the tire and the skirt cover to get to it. I had to purchase two long socket extensions just to get to the bolt that mounts the sensor to the transaxle housing; but it was well worth the 20 bucks...
All in all, it took me three hours to find the damn thing, and then to figure out what I needed to take the old one off and get the new one installed.
The $65 dollars that I spent to find out what the problem was is worth it....
Now, the car runs better than ever....
SOURCE: rpm won't go over 2300
i also have same problem ; i replace my engine for my 2004 sebring convertible and than i can not go over 2250 rpm that means i can not go over 60 miles ... how can i fix it i have no idea ; i change all the sensors which computer says (camshaft , crankshaft , oxgyen , but stil doesnt work ; one mechanic told me ; u need to check ur timing chainf ; one of them told me u need to check transmissin sensors but i really have no idea ....

Have you checked the fuel pressure yet ?
i have with it to the line but canot going down the road. i do not have a gage for the sebring
everybody keep tell me to replace the fuel filter but can not find one
I don't have a part number for a fuel filter, so it is probably on the pump in the tank. If you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, you may have to have a shop test it.
now i did try it with a fuel psi. for a ford and it show 60psi
I did not ask before, the check engine light is not on when the engine is running, right ?
it is blinking all the time. i know it is blinking a code. i took the car by the auto part store. it keep telling it is a crank senser. i replace place it and still it keep saying the same thing and also tell there is a miss firer
The code probably says there is a problem with the signal from the crank sensor. Codes seldom say to replace something. If you have replaced the sensor and the code comes back, the problem may be with the wiring to the sensor, or the part on the crankshaft that the sensor uses.
