Vehicle won't shift correctly. Start the vehicle, accelerate, shifting works but upon coming to a stop, the vehicle will not up/down shift until the vehicle is turned off and back on.
Flush out your transmission with the correct type fluid, Mopar ATF+4, and correct filter. Disconnect Negative cable, to reset computer, for at least 24 hours. Check grounding straps for PCM, ensure they are tight and clean.
This method worked on my 2003 Intrepid SE, 3.5L, Police Pkg car.
Good Luck!!

I have changed the crank sensor, cam position sensor, coil condenser pack, ignition module, key module in steering column, plugs, plug wires, is getting fuel to the injector rail, fuel pump is fine along with filter. What else is there? Do a diagnostics on it and no codes come up. Please help me!
I have this same NO START problem...
Began with tach giving readings not exceding 1200 rpm with strange 4000 + spikes.. Cruse control would not turn on or off at times and indicator light would only work sometimes..Had several episodes of excessive cranking to get it to start.. Stalling out while driving and even at freeway speeds.. Pulling the negative cable for 10 min. allowed it to start although with lots of cranking and put it in limp mode which required another computer reset to get out of.. Had thrown error codes related to cam and crank sensors which were replaced along with coil and manifold temp sensors.. Had the 9 volt power to sensors when key was on but the check engine light does not stay on with all the other idiot lights..
I wish people who respond would read the post first..
Original post states,
Cranks,No spark,No fuel pump run, changed some sensors ect...
If it cranks it ain't the neutral safety switch, starter or battery!! WAKE UP!!
Seems the computer is not turning on the coil, injectors or fuel pump for a reason.. Find that reason and you will find the solution to the problem.. Seeing as that the computers logic states are a dealer secrete the poster as I have changed many parts in blind hope that it will fix the problem.. Relays, sensors and ecu computer.. Did a visual check of all harness potential wear spots like where it crosses over the power rack..
Could it be in the wiring harness inside the dash??
Could it be a bad ground??
Can an alternator that has failed cause the computer not to start??
Can a bad oil pressure sensor cause the computer not to start??
Can signal loss from the TCU or BCU to the ECU cause this??
Is there an undocumented kill if the ECU thinks it was in an accident??
I can ground the relay line from the ECU and the fuel pump runs and pressures up and the other relays turn on as well..
This crank but no start problem seems to be common with a lot of 1994-2001 Dodge and Chrysler owners.. All these systems have become interlaced with undocumented safety features that baffle the DIYer..If you have seen this and have fixed it PLEASE RESPOND!!!!

I have a 1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.5L that has transmission problems after the car warms up. The first time this happened, I'd been slipping around on icy streets and hit a pothole on the front right side. I drove for about 30 minutes and the transmission suddenly dropped into limp mode.
When the car is cold, for the first 15 minutes or so after starting it, the transmission shifts perfectly - no sounds, slipping, etc. I tested this by accelerating hard and also with manually shifting through all of the gears.
After the car warms up, the transmission starts to squeal, the gears slip into neutral, and the car soon drops into limp mode. Let it cool down and it's okay.
The transmission fluid looks fine and was changed a year ago.
I got the following codes from AutoZone:
P1782 - Manufacturer Control Transmission
P0732 - Gear 2 ratio incorrect
P0700 - Transmission Control System Malfunction.
Hoping it was a one time thing, I cleared the codes. The problem remained, but the CEL didn't come back on. One other thing, in limp mode the transmission still slips into neutral in 2nd and reverse and squeals in park.
I'm thinking of replacing the input sensor, since it's cheap and easy. Is there anything else I should do that's relatively cheap?
I was told to change my Transmission Control Module,located on the transmission . You can get it new for under $200 but, I was advised to get it from a junk yard it's alot cheaper and its easier. I hope this helps

I keep losing power steering fluid from resvoir and when the fluid gets low a loud widing sound accurs. What should I do?
You must have a leak somewhere. The whinning noise is coming from the pump. They make that noise when they are out of fluid.
Are you seeing any puddles or oil drops on the ground under your car?
A power steering resevoir is't very large so it won't take very long or a very big leak to run it out of fluid.
There aren't that many parts to a power steering system either.
The leak would most likely becoming from a hose, a connection or from the power steering component cylinder or box.

1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.5L How to replace water pump and timing belt.
This a dificult and time consuming project. Suggest you purchase you a repair manual which gives you diagrams and detailed instructions for this type of repair. Difficult to explain procudure in writing.

my car keeps overheating
Make sure it has a full radiator, remove the thermostat. Test the vehicle, if it overheats the water pump is bad if it doesn't then you need a new thermostat. It will be perfectly fine to drive it for a short period without a thermostat in the summer. But you will want it replaced as soon as possible.

My 1997 Dodge Intrepid overheats. I've replaced the thermostat, and it continues to overheat. I noticed adjacent to one of the radiator hoses, a ribbed hose that is split. Could this cause the car to overheat?
Now that you've eliminated the thermostat, it could be a number of other things. Don't drive the car too far until you've fixed the overheating problem - overheating can destroy an engine.
That split ribbed hose you see is plastic wire loom - it carries and protects electrical wires, and is not the cause of overheating.
1. Low coolant level
2. Radiator hose split/cracked, causing low coolant level.
3. Head Gasket - leaking, causing low coolant level
4. Thermostat - stuck closed (you eliminated this possibility)
5. Radiator cap - worn/damaged
6. Radiator fins - obstructed by debris/cardboard
7. Water Pump belt - missing/broken
8. Heater Core - leaking, causing low coolant level
9. Intake Manifold Gasket - leaking, worn, damaged
10. Radiator Fan Relay - faulty
11. Radiator Fan Blade - broken, missing
12. Radiator Fan Sensor/Switch - faulty
13. Water Pump - leaking, causing low coolant level
14. Radiator Fan Motor - faulty
My primary suspects would be Rad Fan Relay (#10), and
Rad Fan Switch (#12).

The EATX shutdown relay fuse underneath my hood keeps throwing. The fuse itself is checking out fine, but still my car will not start. I have been working on it for almost 5 months and still nothing. I took it to the shop and all they say is the fuse is what is stopping my car from running. Do you have any suggestion?
Replace the fuse housing! This should fix the problem, or it may also be a ground issue. I would check for a ground fault first.
Good luck.
