What would you say if it doesn't want to turn over? It was running fabulous for the entire year for us until we got cold weather, It was Suggested to us to spray starting fluid into the throttle body And if that got the car to start then we likely have a fuel pump issue likely. It's a 2002 4 liter cougar. All the fuses are good and we check the emergency fuel shut off Switch just because someone mentioned that as well. But we understand those usually don't activate unless you've been in an accident which this car has not.
@Theoriginalmalcontentcorner25 күн бұрын
By turn over do you mean crank via starter or fire up and run? If fire up and run, then a shot of starting fluid in the intake runner is a good route to go.

After years of dealing with this and three voltage regulators, I finally traced this problem to a very poor ground. On my 1990 Springer, there was a star washer under the ground cable where it’s bolted to the powder coated frame and the washer was barely biting through the powder coating, creating the insufficient ground. I took the location down to clean bare metal and coated it with dielectric grease and this cured the problem completely!!!!

The tank flush is easy. Once I had the grommet out and the funky fluid drained I just put a hose in the reservoir to flush it out. Once i ran water through it, I just put it back together and it is still working fine to this day. As for the cost- sorry, no idea.

I don't see why you had to remove the crank pulley and the cam seals to do a timing belt. All of those parts have to be in place before you install the new belt, and that means they never had to come off in the first place. Once you jack the motor up and remove the motor mount and front cover, you should be pretty close to being able to swap the belt out. Unless its a unique design. To be honest, I don't work on a lot of Chrysler products, but the ones I have, weren't too bad. For someone who's doing DIY work, Chrysler is not a bad choice. On some brands, everything you do is an absolute nightmare.
@Theoriginalmalcontentcorner5 ай бұрын
Obviously, you didn't watch the video. You don't have to pull the cam seals to do a belt, but you do have to pull the belt to do the cam seals, which is what this video is about. You by your own words haven't worked on a "lot of Chrysler products. Since you haven't worked on a Chrysler 2.5 I will enlighten you: In order to pull the belt, you have to release tension on the belt. To do such you have to get to the idler wheels which are under the lower portion of the timing belt cover. That cover is captured by...wait for it...the harmonic balancer. So, you have to pull the balancer to remove the cover to get to the tension idler to then remove the tension from the belt to remove the belt so you can then pull the cam sprockets to replace the cam seals. End of story.

You said the DMM will "click". I think you meant the RELAY will click when you remove that front seat belt fuse, in the Power Distribution Center...under the hood. My 1997 Chrysler Sebring had the back window smashed out. So the car flooded in the rain...like 8" deep. I used an umbrella with bungee cords during the rainy days. On sunny days, I would drive it. The seat belts are a prime suspect. When you pull out the sear belt fuse under the hood, you said: "your DMM will click"...no. Your RELAY will click. I wish more You Tube broadcasters would write a script. Practice 3-5 videos, before you "send" it out to us. Now I have to go back and watch your video again, to figure out what to do with that "bracket" you hooked onto that negative terminal. I understood it makes it easy to get alligator clips to bite onto it. But I still don't understand what to do with that thing. I can make one, once the nuts & bolts in my tiny little pinhead sort themselves out. Everybody in Television has a script...otherwise, we get anxious, and hope we went over that important part of the training video. I have selected "all videos" from you...not just occasional ones. You've done a great job, here. Good luck, read your Bible.
@Theoriginalmalcontentcorner6 ай бұрын
Steven, the bracket allowed me to hook my DMM in parallel with the ground lead so that I could take the negative lead off the post but not kill the power to the car. Why? Because the Belt module was intermittent. Sometimes, it worked properly, and the car would pull 15ma. Other times, it was misbehaving to the tune of it pulling over an amp (1.2 if memory serves me correctly) for HOURS and thereby killing the battery in about 2 days. Breaking the circuit would allow that module to 'reset' and work as it should...for a spell. So, I had to find a way to easily hook my meter up and not break the circuit. Hence the bracket. Now, unlike you, I had no reason to suspect said module. My car hasn't flooded. However, unlike you, I had nothing to go on other than the usual b.s. trash that the internet had offered up such as "check your dome light, check your trunk light". So, with that being said you don't have to watch the video any further for you have the cliff note version at hand. As for your wishes- This is the 2nd week in a row where you've complained, commented and otherwise pointed out my gaffs yet your questions show me that you didn't watch the complete video. Now you don't need to watch as I told you all I did but remember something- this sh*t is free and this isn't a professional production. I don't have a crew nor the time to 'write a script' and practice with 3 to 5 videos. This is a one-man operation of a busy guy. Animals, wife, life, they all take their time. If I got paid, I'd LOVE to do T.V. worthy shows but I don't and YT is free. So, I try my best. If you think you can do better, than by all means please do. Your channel shows you've posted nothing other than comments (nothing like the luxury of criticism, eh?) so it may be an eye-opening experience for you to film, edit and post content. That being said, if you don't like something I said, or my delivery makes you "anxious" then just move on. Hate the sound of my voice? Move on. I said X instead of Y, move on...especially when it involves a video I made 2 years ago! Think you can do better? Please do. Let's see your results. However, until I get paid for this to where I can get script writers, a teleprompter, editing crew, etc., you get what you get with warts and all and sadly I am an incredibly flawed human.

@@TheoriginalmalcontentcornerSorry I insulted your work, John. I need to watch these videos much more before I comment. Actually, you're doing a really great job! I'm sure you already know the permitted current draw is 50ma. All these Chrysler Convertibles had a lot of parasitic current draw. They had certain fuses pulled when these cars arrived at the Dealerships. Because fuse #5 & some others would drain the battery before 30 days. So...if a customer wanted to test-drive a Sebring Convertible, they would have a guy put the fuse #5 & whatever others back in. So it would start. I doubt Chrysler told their customers about the parasitic draw problems. Please forgive my ignorant, low-life trashy opinion.

Just to add to the wiki, when I bought my 95 used several years ago, the 4-hi and 4-low lights would flash whenever I rolled my window down, seemingly alternating the power, (if that makes sense). Did only that for a few years until some very strange things began happening! The alarm would chirp randomly, then the dome lights would flash, wipers coming on, and more chirping. Very disconcerting to say the least! I took it to the shop and they diagnosed it with a bad GEM. They said there were only two new ones available and they were $600+! I dug around on an Explorer forum and eventually figured out that used ones were available and ordered one, having the shop replace it. Fast forward another couple years to the present and it's acting up again. Periodically the 4wd lights start flashing and then the windows won't roll down. Not waiting for it to go out completely this time, but will replace it myself. Thanks for the tutorial! Edit to add that mine came from a 96 also, and works fine. 👍

I didn't have a screw so I went to Ace Hardware and bought expensive screws that would fit the diameter hole-about 9/64's. I am using a Grommet kit for the webbing on the length wise. Later I realized that the screws won't work in my smaller diameter screws with those grommets! Now Im back to the clips and will make another attempt following your valuable advice! Thanks again!

Well mate, I'm sorry to hear that. In theory nickle/copper line is softer than steel so this tool should flare the line with no problem. Only things I can think of to cause this problem would be either the clamping block is worn out (would require a ton of prior use to do that), the O.D. of the line is smaller than the specified size and is too small for the clamp block or perhaps there wasn't enough lube on the flaring die. All I can say is that I used this tool on my 3/16th steel line and it flared perfectly and the block itself did help straighten out a bent up line.
