We had a leak in the head gasket and it was replaced and after that the engin light comes on and when hooked up to a computor it calls out #3 cylonder and later #1. All the plug look fine. It idles real rough and when stepping on the gas when out on the highway, it skips out. When I turn on the air cond. It even runs so bad that I think it will die out sitting at a stop light, it does run better in park. Also when it idles rough the head light flicker or when the cooling fan kicks in it idles rough and the head lights flicker. Thanks

You know I am having the exact same problem with my '03 GT. I have been chasing down the issue for months now with no resolve! I have been told everything from plugs to wires and then most recently that the timing was off and it would cost me $900.00 to correct. Any guidence you get on your issue please keep me informed. So far however I have had the altenator re-built, replaced the plugs (twice), wires, coil, air filter, fule pump, had the on board computer flashed (now my speedometer doesnt work, thanks for nothing Hall Chrysler), I also dropped the fule tank and cleaned it all spic-n-span! Still, nothing. Good luck fellow 2003 Cruiser victim.
