Hi there,

You will need to extract the fault codes from your vehicle's computer, as follows:

1) Turn ignition key: ON, OFF, ON OFF, ON (leave in ON position)
2) The Check Engine light (CEL) should start flashing
3) Read codes as follows:

- First group of flashes indicate 1st digit of code (followed by short pause)
- Second group of flashes indicate the 2nd digit of code (followed by short pause)
Note: a long pause separates each fault code, then codes will repeat again

e.g. Flash, Flash (short pause), Flash (long pause)...... indicates Code: 21

4) Code 55 indicates end of CEL code output


Post your codes results here and I can assist you with the appropriate repair.

Cheers,

Any rattles that come from an engine are not a good thing. This is most likely a catastrophic failure of a component like connecting rod, piston, valve rocker etc. Time for a new engine .

My 1997 chrysler sebring convertible turns over but will not start. The check engine light has been on since we bought it a month ago. we were told it was because of the o2 sensor.

you'll need a code reader to see the code no start issues can be many things check all your fuses does the engine crank is fuel flowing is do you have spark start by trying to get the codes

Did you check the timing belt to see if it broke? It ha a 2.5 and it has belt. Remove timing cover at the front of the engine and have someone crank it while you watch the cam to see if it turns. If it doesn't turn, replace the belt.

How do you reset the service engine soon light on a 97 sebring jxi convertable

You will need to retrieve the trouble code(s) stored in the computer and repair the problem associated with that code.You cab buy a tool for less than 70 dollars that will read and erase the code at a chain parts store.This is not a maintenance light or an oil change indicator.This light is part of the onboard diagnostics.Good luck!

1997 Chrysler Sebring convertable engines turns over doesn't start. Was running fine then stopped.

Two things to check for. Spark and fuel spay some fuel injector cleaner directly into the intake and if it want to start and shuts off you have a fuel delivery problem, probably a fuel pump or relay. If nothing happens check the spark . If you have no tools the old fashioned way of using a philips screw driver and attaching it to a plug wire and then putting it close to the block while it is turning over. Insulate yourself first. If you have no spark the usual reason on a Chrysler is the crank sensor, but it should be diagnosed before throwing parts at it.

Hope it gives you somewhere to go.

1997 sebring convertible anti theft device oem armed itself .Now i cant get car to start . Havent had the remote for 5 yrs just the original key. Tried locking then unlocking drivers door. Then both doors...

ok try this take the negative wire off the battery overnight then come back and rehook up the negative if this does not work ur best bet is to have it towed to a dealer or if there is a sears in that mall they might be able to help the reason the car keeps cutting off is it the alarm is sending a signal to the fuel pump witch in turn is starving the engine of gas

2002 Chrysler Sebring Convert wont turnover

If you're not hearing a click from the starter check for a starter relay. May be burned out! DO you hear the fuel pump kick in when you turn the key on? If not something might have triggered your security system and locked you out!

1997 Sebring starts, then stalls

You need to disarm the alarm, the 2 problems are related, the start and stall is caused by the fuel pump interupt function of the factory alarm, you triggered it when you replaced the battery, The reset procedure is in the owners manual.
