2004 Chrysler PT LOSER Cruiser, 2.4 non turbo, automatic trans. I replaced the timing belt, tensioner and water pump, and reassembled . I started the car, it ran rough at idle but accelerated fine.

"I started the car, it ran rough at idle."................

Hate to say it but it sounds like your timing is off a notch. I would start there, it should idle smooth, rough idle indicates timing, all other things equal. I would also check to see if you haven't pinched a wire somewhere in the system, recheck spark plug wires, check for vacuum leaks, verify the PCV is working properly, and check the air intake ports for leaks.

1998 pontiac sunfire manual. Car starts but sputters and then dies and is completly dead but in the morning will start again and then die. I changed the coil pack but still the same. what can it be?

You can't do any testing, until you have a battery
that will take and hold a charge

Then you move on to testing the Alternator,then
Fuel Pressure & continue on with other testing

2001 Toyota Tacoma keeps stalling on start up.

Check the battery cables. I had the same issues with my 96 tacoma, The battery cable connection at the battery can be cranked down but still be loose. Hard to explain, doesn't make sense, but just check it out.

1992 jeep cherokee sport 2 door 4.0 inline six. Jeep was running fine except when you went to start it it took two cranks sometimes three then would start. Went to start it the other day and it took alot...

Sounds more like a timing problem than an O2 Sensor. Distributor out of Sync would be my guess. It ran better at Higher idles because the timing belt/chain was tight from tension at low idle the timing was off which caused your problems. Now the belt is either broken or so loose the timing is out and the vehicle won't fire. If it has a Distributor cap remove it and watch the rotor. If it turns the belt is intact but Timing may still be off.

My car ran fine but all at once it started missing and the ioling would go up and down...then when i went to start it the next day it would turn over but wont start 99 saturn station wagon

It seems like a bad idle Air control Valve or an Idle position sensor. The best way is to get a trouble code for free at most autoparts stores and they will tell you what might be wrong.

Recurring Mystery Problem in a 1986 Suzuki Alto. (Idle related)

Bad fuel, water in the fuel, dirt in the fuel.

Drain the fuel tank completely.

Pour in a gallon or two of fresh fuel.

See how it goes.

Put some of the old fuel in a glass bottle, hold it up in front of a light and see if you can see any foreign material in it...
