1998 Intrepid, 2.7 engine - had problems starting at different times (turn over but sounds like it won't fire). Chrysler deal replaced crank and cam sensors as well as the computer. They returned it to us saying they cannot fix it!?! It now starts, runs for 15 minutes then stops and will not start again until it cools off.

When it die's check to see what's missing ! Spark or fuel pressure .Then diagnose which ever system isn't working . Check for B+ voltage at a coil and a fuel injector ,don't know how much you know about automotive electrical systems . If no B+ voltage the ASD relay maybe going bad . Do you know what a wiring diagram is , how to test electrical circuit's with a DMM - digital multi-meter ? No Start Diagnostic Basics EricTheCarGuy

Free wiring diagrams here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html
Enter vehicle info. year , make , model an engine size. Under system click on engine ,then under subsystem click fuel controls . Click search button then the blue links . When it die's check B+ voltage an ground circuit's , you have to find what is missing !

Yes the crank sensor can cause this problem, they go open when hot.

SOURCE: 3.5 will not start just back fires serverly

Get new belt installed & all aligned as it should be & do compression test before going any further to make sure. If good compression there in all cylinders, you probably dodged ( no pun intended) a bullet. Not 100% sure whether that is an interference engine or not, but will see if I can find out. By the sounds of the backfiring description, I'd be tempted to say you still have good compression. here's to hoping. Make sure when you get it back running that you keep a close eye on oil & coolant levels for a while just in case the backfiring cause some gaskets or seals to blow. Watch for difference between cylinders when doing compression test.

SOURCE: 2000 dodge intrepid 2.7 sputtering, revs up

you need to ck some basics you could have a vacuum leak which would hide during warm up but cause havoc when hot,the leak would cause high idle then your pcm would try to lower idle to spec thru use of idle control motor causing surging idle ,also fuel pressure needs to be checked while acting up,may be more cost effective to pay for an hour of diagnostic.

SOURCE: CAM SENSOR ENGINE LIGHT. MAX RPM 2000 SOMTIMES

I seen this before first of all don't let the car dealer to BS the way to your money, most of the time is noting wrong whit the sensor it self but is the plug than goes in to the sensor this what i recommend is to buy another sensor from your local auto part store or salvage yard (cheaper) get three pieces of cable and solder directly in to the sensor brake the plastic around the sensor plug if necessary and secure the three cables to it put some silicon in between the solder and the place the new sensor on top of the old one so you now wish wire goes to which and cut and attach one by one. I now this works 100% i have done it my self many times if you need diagrams or sensor locations you can find that at www.alldatadiy.com now if you still have problems unplug all harness especially all the ones than comes from the back of the engine because that engine tends to leak oil on top of the harness if you have wires doing shortcut replace that section you can solder use heat string tube and change the insulation hose they sale those on part stores to put some zip tides on the ends and you will have your car back and will last Note don't let it get to close to the exhaust use zip tides to keep from touching hot areas.

I have a 2002 Chrysler Concorde 3.5. I have crank, no start.

Ah the old 'Let's try replacing this' method of car repair. It doesn't work and is expensive.

The Yellow OBD (on board diagnostics) Light is telling you there is a problem and if you connect a Professional Grade Scan Tool Computer, it will give codes and tell you exactly what the problem is. You can't guess, you need a mobile auto electrician.

I have 04 dodge Intrepid and it won't start. I

When you say won't start do you mean it will crank over but not fire off or do you mean it doesn't' turn over at all? We refer to this a "No crank no start" or "Cranks will not start"

My 1998 Dodge Intrepid is starting & then stalling only after a few seconds. The engine light came on, & the code was P1391. Any ideas?

That code is indicating an intermittant crank shaft or cam shaft sensor fault. Because the engine is starting then stalling, check to see if you have spark after the stall. If spark is still present, you are probobley looking at a cam sensor circuit issue. The cam sensor controls the fuel injector pulse. If the cam sensor fails on a chrysler product, the fuel injectors will not function.

1996 Chrysler LHS not firing

First, check the ECM fuse in the power control module (it will be a yellow 20 amp fuse). Second, check the timing belt. You can pull out the cam sensor and look in the hole while someone cranks the motor. If the cam gear is not turning, the timing belt is broken. VERY IMPORTANT - when replacing the cam sensor, get a special adhesive pad from a Chrysler dealer that attaches to the bottom of the sensor to set the proper gap (cost about $2). Install the cam sensor until the pad touches the gear and tighten down the locking bolt. The pad will wear off in normal running. If the gap is not set correctly using this gapping pad, you won't start.
