I have a 2001 chrysler LXI that is running UNHOOKED from the cam shaft!

Please help! the other day i went to start my car and it wouldnt trun over. after having it towed to my mechanic all signes pointed to the crank and cam shaft. so they were replaced. car still didnt start. when he unpluged the cam shaft and tried again my car started. it doesnt sound good, its like a long cough, you have to hold the key for probably 20 seconds for it to turn over. and now it runs with the cam shaft un attached! my car is running but not fixed. its unsafe and unreliable when it will quit again! please help!!! everytime he plugs the cam shaft back in it wont start.

    u replaced sensors? or the camshaft? if you replaced camshaft then the guy that timed the engine timed it wrong.

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: 97 sebring lxi, 2.5L -

first thing you got to do is determen weather its electrical or fuel problem, you can take a test light and hook to a ground and the light end to a spark plug and see if it lights while someone turns over engine, if it lights you got spark. if its got spark, on to fuel, take fuel pressure test, don't think because you can hear pump working does not mean it is, it can sound like it is but its not, at least putting out enought pressure, not the correct amount it will not run. pumps will go out just that way with no warning at all.

SOURCE: chrysler wont start

Sounds like a short maybe. maybe the wire completely broke? if you know a technician, see if the fuel pump is even getting power when key is on

SOURCE: 2002 Sebring Convertible Start/Fuel fuse blows intermittently

HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THE STARTER HAS BEEN THE CULPRIT..HAVE NEVER REPLACED A FUEL PUMP ON ONE OF THESE VEHICLES AT ALL

Testimonial: "I replaced the starter. This job is quite substantial. Also found the nut connecting the cable to the starter coil was not tight. I think it is fixed."
