This morning i went to start up my sebring and it wouldnt start. the electronic throttle control light came on so i kept trying to start it but nothing happened . it was just fine the other day .can you tell me what is going on

The flashing bolt is the issue. You need a mobile auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer.

The lightning bolt warning light alerts you to a fault in the electronic throttle control system in your vehicle. This may be a faulty throttle body, the throttle body sensor or possibly the throttle body control motor which is what controls the opening and closing of the throttle body as the motor requires more fuel.

My car will not start but the red lightning bolt is comin...

..

check battery voltage

Well i think you need a new computer or a good testing of your electronic board sorry man

OK. Nothing to do with water pump.
Recommend checking your IAC (Idle Air Control) circuit. This allows air to bypass the throttle body while idling, at stop sign, etc.

did you disconnect the negative battery terminal before changing the sensor?

You will need to have the electronic engine control module scanned for fault codes, there will be a code even if thelight is not on.

Had the same problem. Would be driving down the road and the red lightning bolt light would go on. Unable to accelerate and car started jerking. Would have to pull over and turn car off then turn back on to buy some more time. Needed to replace the Throttle Position Sensor, but you can't get that part by itself. You have to replace the Throttle Body.

is very well could be, if i were you i would check the relay, and fuse for the throttle body injector, if thats good, i would change the fuel filter, if no luck there, i would say you are needing a new throttle body injector. See if you can get somebody to turn it over, and see if the injector is shooting fluid down the throttle body, if not you know its fuel related....This week I had a family member that parked his vehicle, went out the next morning to get in it, wouldnt start, 3 days he went without a vehicle, so i went down and looked at it, he was trying to start it with a key he had made.. i noticed the theft light flashing, i had him get his original key given to him by the manufacturer, put it in the switch, and it started right up.. dont know if that is the case with yours, but hey its a thought.
hope this helps

I have an 08 Sebring and mine has been having the etc light come on and the car will stall..with little to no notice. It's at the dealer right now and they can't figure out what is causing this because the light doesn't stay on once you turn off the car and restart it. It's kind of relieving to me that someone else is having this problem. Hopefully Chrysler can figure out what the deal is with this!!

clogged fuel filter possible bad TPS sensor or some other sensor it can be a bad fuel pump to many possiblities really on what it can be hope for the best and an affordable bill.
