The code is for the cam sensor, but it does not always mean the sensor is defective.It means the computer is not getting a signal from the sensor.Causes can include wiring problems between the sensor and the computer, and mechanical problems with the camshaft or timing belt.

Cam/Crankshaft Pos. Correlation Sensor A-Bank 1

If its automatic, and all other windows raise with the button panel on the drivers door, then your problem is the motor within the door that raises or lowers the window. Easy quick fix.If manual, the window probably got stuck and is jammed up within the door and needs to be bumped or put back on the track.

Just drain the old and ad new, the radiator drain is i the back side of the radiator tank on the drivers side in most models

Hi there:A P0302 code means that the the car's computer has detected that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's cylinder #2.Symptoms may include: the engine may be harder to start the engine may stumble / stumble, and/or hesitate other symptoms may also be presentA code P0302 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: Faulty spark plug or wire Faulty coil (pack) Faulty oxygen sensor(s) Faulty fuel injector Burned exhaust valve Faulty catalytic converter(s) Running out of fuel Poor compression Defective computerPossible Solutions:If there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

There is no such thing as the "starter fuse"

The most common problem would be a bad lower ball joint. It could also be bad control arm bushings or a combination of the two. Neither is an expensive repair. This should be checked out and repaired soon as it could cause control issues. Hope this helps.

Check gas cap, and after cool down check under hood for leak.

Front seal is not bad to replace. With common tools and common sense you can get the job done in few hours. Maybe will require to have harmonic balancer puller, which you can easily rent from auto parts store. Good luck!

If no power to the fuse panel for that fuse and circuit breaker, you may have a maxi-fuse burnt out in the power distribution box by or near the battery. Check all your fuses under the hood.

i dont know of any domestic cars that dont have rebuildable/replaceable clutches on the compressor. best way to find out is to call a parts store and see if you can get the part.

Usually on average 50k or 60K I would say you are overdue if..

is the starter getting power and ground and a signal from the ignition switch is the security light blinking or staying on? hook up a scsntool and see if you can read the data from the pcm if you can't check the fuses #14 i think try a differant key anything more and probably you need to tow it to a dealor if you got po513

The fix is replacement of motor!! I have the same problem and have already paid $700 in repairs to fix seal just to find out that the seal is being knocked out by loose crank shaft..Car had 60000 miles when I bought it 4 months ago, from a dealership, and now it needs a motor replacement..I stiil owe $5000 on a car that is worth $0..Dodge did not give the 100000 mile warranty they love to advertise on TV for the '06 Stratus..They only gave 36000 warranty because they did not think it would last much longer..Will never buy Chrysler product again!! They do not stand behind what they sell or they would have 100000 mile warranty on all their cars..

the erg valve sensor would not stop the engine from starting,so you still have the problem you started with,lets go back to the orginal problem which was?.[car wont start]so im sorry to say its very seldom a sensor will not let an engine,i think you have another problem and a good up to date analizer should pick it up .adrian,,,,

try autozone.com you will have tolook for the item

You need a part called a MFS or multifunction switch. The steering wheel cover usually needs to come off and the part should be exposed. Carefully remove the wiring loom plugin and then unbolt the part. The part may have Torx head surfaces requiring a Torx socket, not a slotted or Phillips head.You may be able to save some money by getting a Salvaged part.

You should hear the pump in the tank buzz on for a couple of seconds when you turn key to ON. It will come on and pressurize the lines, and then shut off if the computer doesn't get a cranking signal from the engine. Do you hear the hum or buzz from the gas tank? If so, pump is working alright. If no sound, then the pump has either failed, or the power to it has been interrupted.If the pump is working, and you know the fuel filter is good, you should have fuel under pressure at the fuel rail on the engine. The only thing left for fuel to get into the cylinders, is for the injector circuit to work and pulse the injectors. Post back if you ned to test the injector circuit-very easy with a test light.Good luck.
