Loses power problems

Engine failure

Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001  170000 miles
I own a pt cuiser 2.0 ecc 2001, and would appreciate any information you could share with me about my car's failures. After changing the gasket, cylinder head and bent valves, it started presenting many sensors' failures : camshaft, oxygen, acceleration and MAP. The engine apparently starts properly when in dead center, it accelerates properly but, when changing to either D or R, the engine chokes and loses power, and even stalls. I would like to know if the problem is in the sensors, in the electronic control unit or in the gearbox. Thank you!

The same happened to me and it was the crankshaft position sensor.

Your problem is that the ignition point is out of time, buddy.
