After driving for 1/2 hour, stop turn engine off, try to restart, won’t, but if I wait for a 1/2 hour,then it starts right up. what the heck is the problem?
We have developed a step by step chart for this exact situation.
Originally, I had a code stating, out of time, crankshaft position sensor, and camshaft position sensor(total of 3). I changed the crankshaft sensor and cleared codes. ran car for 15 min. or so, light came on, camshaft sensor. I changed that, and now as soon as I start the car that po340 pops up instantly. does not say out of time anymore though. If I remember right earlier my reader said cam sensor slow response, then I installed a new sensor. Any ideas?

When I lift the front wheel up, I noticed that the wheel moves sideways. What do you think would be the cause of this? My car is a 2004 Chrysler Concorde.
First of all, checking to see if the wheels move sideways is a test that is performed to check for hub bearing failure. This sideways motion is an indication of hub bearing failure. You will need to have this repaired sooner than later. Seems like you would have heard some noise as well. Must be why you decided to inspect the front end. As a result it turned out to be a good thing you did. Probably not what you wanted to find. So at least now you know what needs to be replaced. Furthermore I have provided you with the part you need and the instructions on how to do it yourself if you have the tools.
The front wheel bearing and front wheel hub of this vehicle are a hub and bearing unit type assembly. This unit combines the front wheel mounting hub (flange) and the front wheel bearing into a sealed one piece unit. Since they are one unit, they are commonly referred to as the hub bearing. The hub bearing is mounted to the center of the steering knuckle and is retained by three mounting bolts accessible from the rear of the steering knuckle. The hub flange has five wheel mounting studs.
The wheel mounting studs used to mount the tire and wheel to the vehicle are the only replaceable components of the hub bearing assembly. Therefore, the hub bearing is serviced only as a complete assembly.
The hub and bearing has internal bearings that allow the hub to rotate with the driveshaft and tire and wheel. The five wheel mounting studs mount the tire and wheel, and brake rotor to the vehicle.
Dash shows in reverse while in park and will not start, if you try down shift into neutral it will only skip and go into drive still will not start.
Maybe the gear selector switch(Transmission Range Sensor) needs to be adjusted or replaced. Use the wiring diagram to assist in tracing the wiring if needed.
WHEN I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE THE ONLY DOOR THAT AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS IS THE DRIVERS DOOR
The power lock system allows all of the doors and liftgate to be locked or unlocked electrically by operating a switch on either front door trim panel. The power lock system receives non-switched battery current through a fuse in the Junction Block (JB), so that the power locks remain operational, regardless of the ignition switch position.
The instrument cluster locks the doors automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 25.7 Km/h (15 mph), all doors are closed, and the accelerator pedal is depressed. The rolling door lock feature can be disabled through the EVIC.
This vehicle also offers several customer programmable features, which allows the selection of several optional electronic features to suit individual preferences.
The power lock system for this vehicle can also be operated remotely using the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters.
The central locking system controls powered operation of the door and liftgate locks and the illuminated entry system. Central locking includes the following features:
The lock mechanisms are actuated by a reversible electric motor mounted within each door. The power lock motors are integral to the door latch units.
The power lock motors cannot be adjusted or repaired. If inoperative or damaged, the door latch unit must be replaced.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system locks and unlocks the doors and liftgate, turns on interior lamps, and arms and disarms the Vehicle Theft Security System (if equipped). The RKE system operates on non-switched battery current through a fuse in the Integrated Power Module (IPM), so that the system remains operational regardless of the ignition switch position.
The RKE transmitters are also equipped with a Panic button. If the Panic button on the RKE transmitter is depressed, the horn will sound and the exterior lights will flash on the vehicle for about three minutes or until the Panic button is depressed a second time. A vehicle speed of approximately 25.7 kilometers-per-hour (15 miles-per-hour) will also cancel the panic event.
The RKE system can also perform other functions on this vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security System (VTSS), the RKE transmitter will arm the VTSS when the Lock button is depressed and disarm the VTSS when the Unlock button is depressed.
The RKE system includes two transmitters when the vehicle is shipped from the factory, but the system can retain the vehicle access codes of up to a total of eight transmitters. The transmitter codes are retained in the RKE module memory, even if the battery is disconnected. If an RKE transmitter is faulty or lost, new transmitter vehicle access codes can be programmed into the system using a scan tool.
This vehicle also offers several customer programmable features, which allows the selection of several optional electronic features to suit individual preferences. Customer programmable feature options affecting the RKE system include:
Certain functions and features of the RKE system rely upon resources shared with other electronic modules in the vehicle over the CAN data bus network. For diagnosis of these electronic modules or of the data bus network, the use of a scan tool and the appropriate diagnostic information are required.
The instrument cluster locks or unlocks the doors when an actuation input signal from a door lock switch or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is received. The instrument cluster turns on the output drivers and provides a voltage level to the door lock motor for a specified time. All passenger doors can be locked or unlocked using a mechanical button mounted on the door trim panel. The drivers door can be locked or unlocked by using the key cylinder.
The door lock motors are controlled by the instrument cluster. A positive and negative battery connection to the two motor terminals will cause the motor to move in one direction. Reversing the current will cause the motor to move in the opposite direction.
The car will just shut down while I’m driving. A few weeks my mechanic replaced the transmission sensor. Now it’s just shutting down ever thing cuts off. After a few minutes it usually will start up again. I am not driving it now
Intermittent problems can be frustrating and time consuming. When the car is running fine and starting fine all tests performed will usually come back as showing no errors with anything. Knowing that, all diagnostic testing will need to be carried out while the problem is present. So only diagnosing when the vehicle will not start will lead us the cause of the problem.
This may require leaving the vehicle with a mechanic for a long stay.
I have a code that is reading #4 missfire. would the ignition coil pack most likely be the problem or #4 injector?
The coil pack would be the most common part failure.
The ignition system used on these engines is referred to as the Direct Ignition System (DIS). The system’s three main components are the coils, crankshaft position sensor, and camshaft position sensor. If equipped with the coil on plug ignition system it utilizes an ignition coil for every cylinder. It is mounted directly over the each spark plug.
I just had my head gaskets replaced and now there’s oil getting into the intake. Can a rebuild kit fix this problem? If I’m going to replace my engine, my original 8th digit vin letter is R and the one I’m replacing it with is vin T. Will this work?
No.
Try replacing the PCV valve first. Oil may be getting into the intake from a failed PCV valve or improperly installed gaskets since you just had it worked on. A compression test will confirm if the problem is internal in the engine or not.
To remove rotate PCV valve(3) counter clockwise 90 degrees.(5.7L engine shown)
I have been fighting an electrical problem, the car will not start. It acts like the ASD relay is not working, But I can’t locate it. All the info I have says that might should be on the driver fender in the relay box. It is not. Manuals say that the relays in order from fender to engine are starter, ASD, Fuel pump, Horn, Wiper/washer A/C clutch and Radiator fan. I’m are starter, fuel pump, Inj. Ing. coil, blank w/washer,
AC clutch and Rad. fan. I have swapped out the relays with a new one. All so I have changed the coil and dist. module. What is keeping it from starting.
I am trying to buy front struts and rear suspension and since I am being asked if it is electronic suspension or not.
I have just purchased car and do not know this how can I find out what type of suspension I have.
VIN- 1C3EU4537RF157446
Look to see if there is an electrical connection attached to the strut.
