    in the ild days teh saying was, it's either the fuel or the spark. These days, add to that " vacuum hoses, relays, and interlocks, etc....". Obviously, check to be sure there is fuel. Beyond that there are so many possibilities, just take it to a reputable mechanic - or dealer. Good Luck with it

If it turns over (cranks) but does not start, it is almost surly a bad crank sensor. Check to see if your tachometer moves when cranking the engine-if it does not, install a crank sensor.

SOURCE: 2001 pt cruiser no heat

did you check the fluid level by removing the rad. cap? Radiator should be full to top. If Chryslers are low on coolant, the heater will not blow warm air.

SOURCE: Engine motor mounts on 2001 PT Cruiser

Place a block of wood under the engine sump to prevent damage when you jack up the engine to take the tension off the mount. Make sure you do not jack the engine up too much as you might damage the exhaust,cooling hoses etc.

SOURCE: replacing a starter in a PT. Cruiser 2001

Remove battery and battery support you'll be able to undo starter bolt's trough there and slip starter out.

Testimonial: "This didn't help, because you had to remove the engine structural collar under the starter to get at the starter bolt. It was more complicated."

2001 pt cruiser starts ,runs for 15 mins shuts off wont start for maybe an hour then does same thing

Ignition control module (ICM) or also maybe the crank position sensor. If one of them went bad, it would mean you lose spark (ignition).

2008 pt cruiser - check engine light came on, within minutes it started to "power down" and and died. Won't start. What could cause this? BTW have changed spark plugs, camshaft sensore, cranks

My PT did that when my timing belt broke. It cost $500.00 to replace it. If it is broken, be ready to have some motor work done. I had to have to values replaced at a cost of $900.00. If your timing belt is not broken then check the alternator and battery. I was riding down the road and my PT shut all the way down and would not start. I had to leave it beside the road. It was my alternator. It gave me no warning.

I was driving down the road and my 2002 PT Cruiser just shut down. The battery was bad, and I replaced it, but now it won't start. It cranks over, but won't start. It's getting fuel, but I don't know if...

sounds like you might have a type of electrical problem somewhere check all of youre connections and make sure they are connected good and arent broken or damaged that vehicle should have a reset switch for the fuel pump in the trunk or on the passenger side floorboard try that to it may help i hope it does.
