SOURCE: 2003 caravan will not start!!!

Hi..
On your problem with the Caravan.

If you Have replaced the Crank and Cam sensors. And the Code Cam/Crank Correlation sensor.
Is found.
Normally this code is present When the Timing belt or Timing Chain, Is out of time 1 or more dents
On the timing due to Skip of the timing belt or Chain.

But don't forget check the connector at the sensors. For any damaged or corrosion on the pins.
Ok.. I hope this help to try diagnostic your car.

Thank you for use fixya.

SOURCE: no start new crank & cam sensor no power to either sensor

Crank shaft sensor has a clearance specification. It controls the timing. the sensor on the head is an anti knock sensor and won't keep the engine from running. Good luck

I would be thinking that there is a good chance that you need to be checking out replacing the computer, if you aren't getting any communication with the proper scan tool then the computer isn't communicating with anything in the vehicle...... I would have guessed first off that the ignition control module might be bad but that is obviously part of the computer also, I would be looking in that direction.

Toyota 2007 Camry issue starting, diagnostic run and code P0102 and B2799

P0102

& B2799 no engine told and is engine problems. of 3.
2.4 gas and 2.4 electric gas/hybrid! and 3.5L V6 ?????????????
no vin told, the 8th digit (usa) is engine code, learn to share that.

so the starter motor spins fast and engine too spin but will not start.?
the word turns over , means zero in the real world.
the starter spins, (turns) the crank shaft turns (if lucky spins) and the engine starts and runs and stays running. a serial process that./
worse yet?
other say turns means engine runs
turns over means ZERO to me.
.
or
cranks fast? but will not start? or runs for 1 to 10 seconds and stalls.

try to know we are blind and deaf here, we can not hear you turn the to start via key, and matters huge. this.

you put in a new battery and all I can do is scratch my head.
and think gee your starter was dead?. starter motor dead.
or not charged up.<<bet this I do. (blind)


P0102 MAF reads low, ( means weak and when weak engine power will be WEAK) the error means really SUPER WEAK or dead even.. or starter + battery weak causes fails error.

& B2799 IMMO errors
RULE #1 is:
to fix any cars even DIY the cars battery must be kept fully charged using a tool of same name a battery charger on any engine
that fails to start and or Alternator is dead.
must.
or the computers on board lie to you , with weak battery for sure cranking down and draining the battery too low.

b2799

Error in communication between hybrid vehicle control ECU and ID code box...

so is is the Hybrid car and you never told that.
wow not good for you and getting wrong answers and guessing
wrong.

B2799 is also listed as IMMO comm errors max.

my guess you keep cranking the dead engine
and the computers on board tell you lies

RECAP
no engine told. not one clue
not told if starter motor (cranking) is dead, weak slow or you cranked the dead engines battery flat

tow the car to a real shop.
they will charge the battery first and load test it
then crank the engine. and see if it starts.

OK what to do now. besides tow to shop
check call fuses.
charge the battery 100% and keep it charged or you will not make progress fast. OR NEVER.
TURN (THE ENGINE/START/STOP BUTTON DEAD?
LOOK AT THE DASH CLUSTER AND IMMO LAMP
kEY NOT DETECTED.?
THE IMMO LAMP MUST BE HAPPY(GLOW)
IF IMMO FAILS USE THE 2ND KEY TOY GAVE YOU DAY1 NEW
YOU HAVE 2 KEYS, UNLESS YOU LOST THE 2ND
OK IMMO HAPPY
TURN THE KEY TO START, AND CRANK THE ENGINE
IF WILL NOT START ADD 5% (A TAD) RIGHT FOOT THROTTLE
STARTS NOW?
IMMO ON THE CAR IS A MESSAGE BOX, ERROR
"KEY NOT DETECTED"
CAR HAS PUSH BUTTON START OPTION?
DO NOT HAVE BOTH KEYS IN THE CAR AT THE SAME TIME.
THIS CAR HAS 2 KINDS OF START SYSEMS
KEY OR KEYLESS.
THE LATER IS PASSIVE KEY FOB. ONLY
AND HERE ARE THE IMMO RULES IN YOU MANUAL

My 2004 Honda Accord won't start turns over has a new battery it has a flashing green key and a red dot can you please

no engine told , fuses (all) not checked. PCM not scanned for errors
cranks fast but will not start and run and stay running.!
right-o?
the car came new with 2 keys, lost both>? or lost 1 and now the other is dead, and the IMMO lamp on the days screams bad key bad key and not reading the glove box users guide (free ) to see how the lamp works, IMMO (thieft/security) >
i will now read page 81 in your guide to you. and linked

When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer System
indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out.
If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system
does not recognize the coding of the key.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert
it, and tu
rn the switch to ON (II) again.

2006 Cadillac DTS. I need wiring diagram for it please?

Hi Joan Whittaker,what does no crank mean.
the starter motor is dead? some posters call d crank= running engine.
which engine there? cranks fast but will not start.
underhood fuse box f24 blown?
step 2 after all fuses checked is:
shift to Neutral see if that allows cranking per my red circle below
is PCM control.
is the dash IMMO lamp happy?

as you can see the pcm decides to do the cranking or not
via its starter relay.
if you scanned the PCM it will tell you why it id not start.
immo error OR A/t PRNDL (TRS) ERRORS. OOPS




dts-undefined-undefined-0.jpg the IMMO page in your users guide covers IMMO
if key 1 fails try key2, car came with 2 keys new.
READ ALL PAGES ON IMMO FIRST

If the engine does not start and the Security System
Light comes on
Security System Light (CLUSTER LAMP ICON LOOKS LIKE CAR CUT IN HALF WITH A PADLOCK, never ignore this lamp.
This light flashes when the Theft
Deterrent System has been
activated.

I lost my chip key for my 2002 Nissan Maxima se.I purchased a replacement from the dealership.

all that and not 1 look at the dash IMMO lamp ?
and it not happy? page 2-13 in users guide. glove box found. or free at nissan or found googling 100 places.
READ your free users guide that page on IMMO
and NO START

immo lamp is "Security" glowing wrong.
this lamp stays on key on , that means IMMO is failing.
for that KEY car came with 2 keys use the 2nd key
never have just one key.
cranks fast and will not start
or starts and runs for 1 to 10 seconds and stops
IMMO lamp trying to get your attention and can't?
not oice checking all fuss
not once scanning the PCM in it tells you why it fails.

now if immo is happy?
there are 50 causes of no starts
engine bad or EFI and all sensors and more. bad.
there are only 2 paths here.
do that tests or get the car repair in a shop.
to do test one needs tools got them?
Learn that EFI is what keeps an engine running

& sustained and spark good fuel pressure must be at spec.

Why won't my 2004 Tahoe start after battery change?

there i lots more to any starter, the permissive's
here is the list (and voltmeter tests for each)
  1. battery good. 4 lug ends clean and tight. no rust.
  2. all fuses good (oops forgot all those?) cab/bay all.
  3. key gets 12vdc power and ST pin goes hot cranking.
  4. PRNDL switch closed for park IF FAIL CRANK IN NEUTRAL
  5. OK STARTER RELAY CLOSES.
  6. NO IMMO FAILURES, lamp on dash happy.
  7. starter solenoid small lug goes hot, 12vdc
  8. starter cranks if not bad. or engine not seized.
  9. any tech knows how to hot wire any dead starter (keys in pocket)
immo mostly cuts spark then fuel but some rare cars cut ALL
if battery is bad, yes head lamps prove little, we jumper cable crank all dead starter now, watch the tow truck guy see?
Heads are 10amp starter is 300+ amps, apples and oranges not the same, see?

or get the car fixed in a shop as 99% do.
learn and do or get it fixed.
guessing fails mostly, use a voltmeter find the path to the point of failure,
keep that new battery charged or now you have 2 problems to fix.
