Hello Sean Hector,

Typically a half dozen issues COULD be
stopping your START... Get your code read...
and ignore THE COUNTER CLERK's OXYGEN
SENSOR
sales pitch (they seldom solve the issue)

None of this "STUFF" is magic... and everybody
typically starts at the beginning ... but wouldn't it be
nice to know some important TIPS in advance.

Your ECM
(for example) is AMAZINGLY cheap
(eBay: see here)
2004 Chrysler Sebring 2 4L Engine Computer Control Module ECM ECU PCM PCU...

But RE-PROGRAMMING is required (not cheap)...
On my eBay example it is PRE-PROGRAMMED
(see bottom links: 2004 Sebring)

An important NOTE about AUTOMOTIVE electronics...
.(actually ANY semiconductor circuits you care about):

The tiniest static SPARK (you might not even feel)
is enough to UTTERLY DESTROY any semiconductor
on the planet...

Electro-static DISHARGE:
ESD
precautions should always be employed...
(A very simple and cheap [high resistance] wrist band)
Amazon com Rosewill ESD Anti Static Wrist Strap Components RTK 002 Black...

Typically automotive mechanics GET AWAY
with their GROSS NEGLIGENT behavior because
they are usually contacting (grounding themselves)
METALIC body parts, nuts bolts... (etc.) an THEN
touching the various CONTROL MODULES. ECM,
PCM, BCM...TCM (etc.).

ALSO ...
High IMPEDANCE (resistance) test equipment...
or EVEN better... Non CONTACT test equipment
can get your testing done (professional results...
Without EXPLODING those pesky AIR BAGS.
(also quite expensive... never-mind dangerous).
((look on AMAZON for NCVT DC testers))

So as more & more cars are carbon fiber, plastic
(non-metallic et al)... Fewer SEMICONDUCTORS
are going to survive mishandling... I am only
concerned with YOUR CONTROL MODULES.

Hope this gets you SAFELY started

SOURCE: 2002 chryler sebring is leaking anti freeze

It depends on where the leak is coming from. If the water pump is leaking, it has a hole on the bottom of it. You will see a trail of dried anti freeze coming from the bottom of it, indicating a bad water pump. It's best to dry everything off, crank it up and let it come to operating temp and check for where the leak is coming from. It may just be an old hose or loose clamp.

SOURCE: 2006 Dodge Magnum keeps overheating

Observe the car's engine as it runs for 10 minutes to ensure that the electric fan for the radiator is coming on, if not either the fan relay, fan's coolant temp. sensor, or the fan itself is bad, try the relay first it is the least expensive, if this is the type of vehicle that has no electric fan replace the clutch fan.

SOURCE: 1995 BMW 525I over heating issue. I repaired head

Hi, Sounds like you have tried about everything. Ok the aux. coolant switch is for the electric pump for the heater core will not cause an over heating condition just a longer warm up of the heater core. Has the cooling system been bleed properly if there is a trapped air pocket it will not let coolant circulate. Was the new thermostat installed correctly? They have a vent that needs to be towards the top or they trap air on the back side and cant take an accurate reading to open and close. Other areas to look at would be proper operation of the fan clutch, if they fail they can cause the fan to not lock up properly and supply enough air movement through the radiator. The aux. electric fans and their temp switches do you hear them coming on are they coming on at the right temp.

SOURCE: 2001 chrysler sebring leaking water beneath

Hi,

This is called the water pump weep passage which is a sign that your seal in the water pump has failed.

You need to replace the water pump.

Serial No; M034728 please

its not intake manifold. thats air. manifolds that were mentioned are for coolant transfer from one side of the block to the other. the gaskets didnt hold up to the pressure from the flow on a ton of these vee-hickles. youre going to need new head gaskets, as well as new gaskets for those coolant manifolds. if you decide to go this route, flush the entire system, replace the water pump, and change out your thermostat and thermostat housing, along with both sensors on the housing.

My 94 saturn is overheating. Everything is good until i stop the car. Then it spews out coolant through the reservoir. The fan comes on every time. Ive replaced the thermostat twice. The water pump works....

You have a warped head.No fix in the world will stop your problem until you have the head re-skimmed and a new gasket fitted.The more you drive the car like it is,the more damage you are doing.

2006 chysler sebring has no heat. Is the

a sticking thermostat will cause the heat to be cold, that bleeder screw is to help purge the air out of the cooling system, when you add coolant to the radiator loosen this screw a bit and it will let the air out of the system, loosen the screw and add water until you get just water coming out, not bubbles, if it has bubbles coming out all the air isnt out of the system, try this first before replacing thermostat as air in the system will have an effect on the system

Is this the only place it leaks. These cars are notorious for head gasket & intake gasket leaks. Have the coolant system pressure tested for any other leaks. You also may have cracked the thermostat housing when the thermostat was not seated properly. Check the flow rate through the rad. The rad may be blocking up or the water pump impellor may be loose in the water pump. Hope this helps. Good luck!
