2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser. It idles okay but wants to stall unless floored, then it will take off with some stuttering.

Question edited for clarity and typos.
Question moved to model category.

They are a heap and generally disliked. Try cleaning the Throttle Body and the MAF (mass air flow sensor). It also sounds like a new exhaust would be a good idea. They make a difference to the engine management if holed.

Is the check engine light on?

Disconnect battery again for an hour to clear keep alive memory from your engine computer. Then drive 15 miles to see if it gets better.

Report back.

Jerks and shakes from time its cranked. can drive it but still jerks, doesnt want to take in gas when speeding up, some back firing when giving it gas. engine light flashes red until letting off the gas...

Sounds like a fuel injector is clogged up or is not firing due to the computer not firing it. Check by putting a noid light on each injector and checking for pulse by viewing a blinking light from it. Also, one can check to see if a stethoscope can be used to listen for a clicking from the injector indicating it's at least pulsing that way.
