cranking but not starting?

Hello Big B

Lets start with the basics, does the engine have fuel pressure and spark, here is a guide that will help.

But I need to say there is an auto shut down relay that goes bad in these cars.

Here is a guide to help you test the relay

Here is the relay location (below)

Thank you so much for this post I checked out the ASD relay and then replaced it the engine fired right up, this site is great!

My car will not start, but everything works. starter is good, put an extra ground on battery. I just do not know. any feedback will be appreciated.

try a security system reset see link. then if that does not work have amechanic scan for codes as it may be the TPIM module not allowing it to. also, check the ASD relay by switching with another known good relay.

I was driving and it shut off without warning and it will not start back up.

Okay, does it crank and not start or no crank no start?

Yes it cranks over and wont start.

I changed the crankshaft sensor and it started, but kept shutting back off and after a few times it would not start at all.

Was the crankshaft position sensor damaged visually? Also have you checked for spark after it would not start again?

No it did not look damaged and no I did not check for spark.

Let's check for spark to see off we have any?

when i turn the key on i get all the battery components on, but the engine will not start no sound no grinding nothing , and the steering wheel does not lock when key is off.

try resetting security system if no manual look online. then have the battery checked for condition including load test, most places do for free

Yeah

Have you checked for fuel pressure? With the key in the run position is the security light on solid or flashing?Can you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key to the run position?

The computer said it was the cam shaft sensor, would that do it, because it started up again and then shut off

What is the exact code numbers not code descriptions? that tells the computer what position the camshaft is in.

I'm thinking that it might be the computer, this is what it's doing, and you can give me your opinion on it, when I erased all of the codes it runs fine until the check engine light comes back on then it quits, erase the codes, runs fine again, I've changed the cam shaft sensor, the crank shaft sensor, no differents, do you think it's the computer?

Hello, I have read other posts of this problem. I had both fuel pumps replaced and a new battery. My son is trying to connect a new ground wire from the battery to the transmission. But he cannot get the bolt/screw off the transmission to connect the wire. What tool does he need to get the bolt off?

Yes is sounds like it is the computer, but can you give us the codes that come up here is a guide to help you.

Hello,

He can use any good ground location on the transmission or engine block or cylinder head. He will need a 14mm or 15mm socket or wrench.

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

We need the codes I have seen cars not start till a certain code is cleared from memory.Doesn't mean you have a bad computer.Need exact code numbers not code descriptions?

Ok I'll get them to you, thank you

Please let us know what you find we are here to help.

Best, Ken

I've been away from the car, I'll try to get them to you tonight, thanks

2004 Chrysler Pacifica will not start, nothing from the ignition switch, batt good, connections good and clean, ground good and clean..will not start with a jump

Use a test light or meter to see if the starter is receiving power at the big lug. Also see if it getting power at the small lug when the key is turned. Make sure the power and ground cables are tightened securely at the battery. Also make sure the ground cable is securely attached to either the frame or the engine block.

These are the codes, it said it had 8 codes but each code was on there twice,
PO129, PO122, PO344, PO340.

Have you checked the timing belt timing?

No, like I said, when you erase the codes it will set there and run fine then the check engine light will come on and then it shuts off

OK some of those codes for the camshaft mentioned something about the timing belt being out of time.That's why I asked abut it.

I looked around the computer box on the car and found that a big ground wire was off and in the wiring harness there was a blue wire that was smashed and broke, I fixed the ground wire, didn't start, that's when I noticed the blue wire, I haven't fixed it yet it got dark on me, so that's where I'm at so far, do you have anything?

It just makes one click, but if you take the relay out it turns over but will not start. if you jump the relay but when you put the relay in just one click.

I would fix the wires you found the problems with and see what happens.

try a security system reset and try cleaning battery terminal ends they may be dirty and cause security to engage. See link.

Ok I'll do that today and let you know what happened

Fixed it!!!!!! Thank you for your help.

Your welcome that's what we're here for

Chrysler Pacifica 2004, Heat/Cool Fan not running. When I turn on the Climate Control system I hear a very soft hum instead of the usual loud fan. Everything looks normal except that no air comes out. All lights are there as if nothing is wrong. Also no air comes out from the back seat vents. Sometime in the past I had this happen but I simply turned off the system and then turned it back on and things went back to normal. Any hints?

I'd have to get at the fan and check for voltage and ground, key on, hvac on. Green wire is voltage and black is ground. If you have good voltage and ground with no blower movement, suspect the blower motor. You can check hvac trouble codes, see if anything shows up?
