6/16/2010 martinautoI received the same code from my Snap-On Modis w/ 8.4 software for a 2000 Concorde (2.7R). Snap-On says to go into global OBD to get code. I used my backup scanner (OTC Monitor 4000E) and pulled three P codes. Diagnosed and replaced bad CMP sensor. Problem solved.

Engine will not start when hot/ warm ,it happen intermittenly.David - 2003 Chrysler Concorde - Engine - 6/15/2010egine always start when it's cold. engine has good cranking speed. when the engine is running it has never shut off. when the engine does start it runs smooth no missing.-
6/15/2010 HouseCallAutoHook up a code reader to the diagnostic connector under the dashboard on the driver side. This is the way vehicles are diagnosed. The codes will lead to the repair necessary. The cost of the tool is not that much considering that a shop will bill you a similar amount PLUS parts and labor to fix the problem. There are instructions that come with it and it is easy to do. After you read the code or codes, write them down and repost with the codes and we can tell you what parts to buy to DIY if you are up to it. http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/.../E203030.html

Is it possible road debris can cause a puncture to the air conditioner/transmission coolant hose?tom from NJ - 2008 Chrysler Pacifica - Engine - 6/12/2010-
6/12/2010 HouseCallAutoI would have to say it is possible, but it depends on what "debris" means. If road debris was enough to puncture a hose then there would be other damage to the surrounding area. I would not believe that there could be a puncture in a cooling line or AC hose and everything else around that remains untouched and blame road debris.

Thank u for your response. It's becoming a warranty issue with the dealer. They r telling me it's an external puncture that may have been cause by either a rock, glass or metal. The fluid was shooting out of the grill of the car. You made a good point. If that was the case there should be other damage to surrounding areas if this hose is in that area of the grill.

6/11/2010 HouseCallAutoReplace the camshaft position sensor located in the timing gear cover. This is the fix most times. It is not a sure thing but the odds are on your side.

Heat on front passenger side vent blows out cold not hot like the restjohn - 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager - Engine - 6/7/2010 -
Wont start getting fuel put a sparkplug on wire couldnt see spark does that mean coil bad or something elseed - 2000 Chrysler Cirrus - Engine - 6/7/2010-
6/7/2010 HouseCallAutoDepends on how you tested the plug. If you are checking for spark by looking at the electrode gap on the plug, you must have the threaded part of the plug grounded either by attaching a separate jumper lead from any good engine ground to the spark plug threads or the very tip of the electrode and then crank the engine to check for spark. After you do that and verify there is no spark please re-post and we can continue the diagnostic. Distributor failures are the #1 cause of no spark on the 2.5 Chrysler engine. There is a diagnostic procedure I can post for you to follow so you will not have to guess at it. Let me know.

Coolant is going out onthe coolant reservoir ?orlando - 2000 Chrysler Grand Voyager - Engine - 6/7/2010once i park and shut the engine -
Car starts, 3 seconds later dies. can keep it running by spraying carb cleaner. has new fuel filter and new fuel pump.jerry - 1997 Chrysler Sebring - Engine - 6/6/2010-
6/6/2010 HouseCallAutoThere is a problem with the theft alarm and the BCM is shutting down the injector pulse. Try this.........disconnect both battery cables from the battery. While they are disconnected touch them against each other for a minute. Then reattach them positive then negative. See if that does anything. Please re-post and let me know if it helped and if not I'll research it further to an answer.

Why does my 94 new yorker just die after an extended drive and won't restart for a long time 1 or 2 hoursmorfromrob - 1994 Chrysler New Yorker - Engine - 6/6/2010-
6/6/2010 HouseCallAutoThis is either a bad crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor. They are both easy to replace. The cam sensor is located near the thermostat housing and the crank is on the transmission bellhousing.

6/2/2010 HouseCallAutoMove the temperature control from cold and back to hot to verify that the temperature changes. If no change the blend door actuator is bad / stuck and you are mixing heated air with your cold air all the time so you will never get cold air.

When i fill the water up, it has a slow leakCheri - 1995 Chrysler Cirrus - Engine - 5/29/2010i have two opinions. One is the water pump and the second is a pipe under the intake manifold. I have been parts to death on this car. Where should I look to find the problem?-
5/29/2010 VictorHave you tried radiator "STOP LEAK?" you can get it at any store with auto parts.
6/2/2010 CheriVictor... I haven't tried that yet. I'm going to put it on a concrete driveway Friday and see if I can see where it is leaking from. I know everybody is hurting for money to keep in business, but I am tired of spending almost $300.00 per month on this car and it still doesn't run.
