2001 sebring 2.4 4cyl...recently had the timing belt, water pump, and crank shaft sensor plate replaced now the car wont start and when it does it wont accelerate more than 10mph...help please. i dont want to junk this car

SOURCE: 2001 sebring will turn over but will not start

Most Chrysler cars do have an anti-theft system that can cut out the engine.

I would call the service department, with your VIN handy, and see if yours was equipped with one, and what you need to reset it.

If that isn't the problem, your EGR valve might be bad, or the sensor for it. I've seen a lot of cars where if either the valve itself, or the sensor are malfunctioning, the car won't run properly.

I would also check your MAF and IAC, as those can cause the car to not run.

If you can, get an OBDII code scanner, and pull the codes from your car, they might give you a more specific place to look. (Most parts stores will let you take one home, you put a deposit down, and get it back when you bringthe scanner back to them)

SOURCE: need to now where timing marks are located on 1997

Hello carolnaes: My name is Roger and I will help. The picture of the timing marks are attached. I will caution though that Mitchell repair calls this a interference motor. Meaning if the engine turns over with the belt off. The valves of the engine can and may be damaged. I also checked All Data and they said it could possible cause valve damage. Should you need further help please just ask. Please rate the quality of your answer. Thank You for using Fix Ya. Roger

SOURCE: chrysler 300m 2001 starts after unplugging cam sensor

theres a reflash program that needs to be done on these cars, because of extended crank time and cam / crank syhcronizing out, start there,also i had one with same code and found that aftermarket cam sensors dont work, installed dealer part and had the updated reflashing done and solved the problem.

SOURCE: i replaced the water pump

remove and retime your distributor, sounds like it's 180 degrees out of time.

SOURCE: i have a 2001 sebring

when installing a new chysler pcm you must have it programed by the dealer to learn your venicle by the vin number......butsound like you had the no start before the pcm did you check for fuel presure.......did you ckeck injector pulse....and did you ckeck for spark at coils thats where you should have started......
