so you saying that the its not moving until it catches..
sounds to me like its the transmission causeing the promblem... check the trans. fluid in natural making sure the parking brake is set or some kind measure is taken so car wont roll. if the trans. fluid is low this could cause it....

Suggested Repair

Check the transmission fluid level with the parking brake set so the car cannot roll. Low fluid can cause delayed engagement until the transmission catches.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Chrysler Sebring coupe with a 6-cylinder engine and 140,000 miles says pressing the gas does nothing at first, then the car eventually catches and accelerates. It runs well when the check engine light is on. New spark plugs and plug wires did not fix it. The expert suggested the transmission and recommended checking the fluid level with the parking brake set, noting that low fluid could cause the delay.
