If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also check for fuel injector pulse. If your missing all three, check the cam and crank sensors.
Can you check for applicable trouble codes?
I can only help with testing.

You mean freon for the ac ?
The fitting for the low side should be on the metal line going to the condenser, or on the compressor.

SOURCE: Why is my pt cruiser losing power, but not stalling?

I thought it was a fuel problem but when you say the tach and speedometer go from zero to full speed and RPM has me stumped Thinking maybe the computer was malfunctioning. Then you talked about the transmission bucking and that made me thinking it was slipping and then grabbing again slipping and grabbing. Check the fluid on flat surface engine warm and look at the dipstick and make sure it is full and not over full the color should be pink not dark and shouldn't have a strong burnt smell. Do you have the check engine light on the dash if so have it checked for free at an auto parts store and see what code is in there

I have a 2007 PT Cruiser and it just started acting yesterday. It starts but if I run to the store (a few mils away) and try and restart after about 10-15 minutes it doesn't want to start right away,

It looks like battery. Check the connections on the battery terminals and see if it is corroded. Clean it with water and an old toothbrush. If it is not loose and clean, then your battery is probably going to need replacing if it is 3 to 5 years old. Normally batteries start acting up at that age, and also when the weather starts to cool down. Bring it to a a tire shop, auto parts store or mechanic and have it checked. It should be free to get checked.

Hi, I have the same problem on a 2003 PT Cruiser... I am still trying to figure it out what is the problem. I changed the Starter, because it was previously working bad, but it was not all the problem.

My 2003 PT cruiser dies at a stop sign and then it won't start

You may need a new battery (alternator will keep it running once jumped but if you stop, the idle may not keep the car powered long enough). If you've never replaced the battery, its about time - they have a life of about 5 years.
