I have a 2004 PT Cruiser Turbo. A person sent you a problem that I am having as well.

Car runs but will stall without warning, engine light comes on, P0032, P0038, P0132 and P0170
Sometimes it will restart but sometimes not. No rhyme or reason for this. I have replaced plugs, wires, almost all sensors and still not fix. Replaced PCM, still no fix. I read your response on the power steering sensor wicking oil up to the PCM. Checked that and found that I definitely had that problem. Unplugged the sensor for now, cleaned the PCM connectors and left the sensor unplugged for now. Cut wires near the PCM and capped them while I wait for the new sensor. Drove car today and had the same stalling issues and codes coming on. I am in this for a few thousand dollars and still no fix. I would never have guessed the steering sensor but I see that is a problem. All things being said, I am still finding that the car stalls for no reason and flips the above codes. Been to the dealer three times and they tell me they can't figure this out.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Why in the hell would you cut wires? Now it h as to be repaired correctly and not with crimp connectors? All those codes ar O2 sensor problems front and back of converter. See pic
