Raymond, your in a mostly metal building, that being said WIFI and Cel phone service will be limited If your computer network is in the office, and your in the last bay you could have 2 metal walls blocking the signal, so to fix the problem You add a wifi router in the shop I would put one on the far wall in the center by the office up high 8' Or one on the newest lift wall in the center up @ about 8' Something that works as a mesh would be best. I think its Wilson who makes a mesh system for RF this can also improve cel service inside the building. Wifi should connect faster but you also want dul band.

maybe use it as a loaner car for customers that need a vehicle during repairs. Put a magnet sign on the door for advertisement. Also, maybe even lease the vehicle to the company. EX: 350.00 a month and you can use all lease payments made from company as a tax write off. Just a thought, help those customers in need and save money.

Glad to see the ECU was still in the PT Cruiser in the back. Solved one of its problems. I look forward to seeing what the ABS/Wheel Speed Sensor issue is. All in all it was a good day for the car. Great diag on tracking down the no crank/no start. Another incidence of an owner fouling things up. Again, am glad at least the owner didn't toss the original ECU. Thanks for another great video.

As a person who has owned multiple PT Cruisers and still owns a 2003 with 66,636 miles right now, I personally enjoy the PT Cruiser. Where they are a nightmare to work on and replace even the simplest things, I do enjoy driving them as they are TANKS in the snow. Even in a foot of snow they are tanks. I have been able to get through snow that even trucks get stuck in. I had a 2008 from Tennessee that I loved more than any other PT I had but I sold that for a larger vehicle. Biggest mistake ever. Sold it for a 2013 escape. Transmission went as i drove off the lot. In 7,000 miles, the transmission was replaced 2 more times. Dealer bought it back and got me a deal on a 2020 escape. Transmission failed at 34,000 miles. Bought a 21 F-150. Transmission failed at 16k. Determined Fords after 2013 are Junk. Bought a 2020 2.0T Equinox and its been better than any Ford. 50k miles of Hard towing and it still runs like i drove it off the lot. My last PT Cruiser I have, I will rebuild, repair, replace whatever as long as i can. May not be the most desirable but they are reliable and great vehicles if you MAINTAIN them properly.

SKIM is the acronym for Sentry Key Immobilization Module. The chip in the key must be programmed into the module. From the factory the vehicle has two keys matched. They do on occasion cease communications to the module. On the first start attempt with a key that does not match, the vehicle will start and run for about 3-4 seconds and die. After that the vehicle will crank for a few attempts and then sill stop cranking.

One of the cars I used to drive had the timing belt break... at 206,000 miles. It was the original belt and this was after 20 years. It was a 1966 Pontiac Tempest LeMans Sprint. It was the first engine to use a timing belt and fortunately, it was non-interference and my father had a spare belt at home. We swapped it in the parking lot and I was able to drive it home. For modern cars, always change the timing belt at the recommended interval.

The PT Cruiser acually has a semi interference motor. So the valves cannot hit the piston in those cars. But the valves can hit each other. Also the previous guy probably just plug n played that PCM. When you replace those you have to program the PCM to SKIM with a 4 digit code the dealer provides. And the VIN into the PCM. Also SKIM stands for Sentry Key Imobilizer Module. Hope this helps for anyone wondering.

My daily driver is a 2004 PT Cruiser. 75K miles. Very clean. It was free, I just had to fix it. A shop had replaced the water pump and upon reassembly, they rammed the main engine mount bolt in with an impact and snapped it off. They never said a word. They kept selling the lady other parts to 'fix' the problem but never owned up to their mistake. She got disgusted with it and bought another car. Sad that a 'professional' shop would do this.

When I had ECU/ECM (computer) start dying in my 2005 GMC Canyon, I did some looking around to see what my options were. One that wasn't a good one, buying a used one from a scrapyard. That would never work directly swapped in, from what I have learned. I found online a few places that sell refurbished units. They had to program it with data from the vehicle to make it be useable. So, later, after I received it in the mail, I swapped it in, connected the battery, and had to perform a key relearn. After finding info to do that, the truck started right up. P0315 code (needing to relearn variable valve) showed up, and usually does on this kind of swap. My cheap $200 scan tool could not initiate the relearn test. That required me to take it to a shop that has the tool to do it. It would not pass smog without having that code cleared after the test was done.

PT Cruiser is a non-interference engine. Pistons will not hit the valves. However, the valves are interference with each other. So having the timing belt fail can result in the cams becoming out of sync, and smashing the valves up.

probably the best thing would be to use it as a loner, that way your customers will have a auto to still drive while theres under repair. great job. hope you can fix the last items.

Not a fan of PT Cruisers, however that one looks good. You got lucky finding the original ECU! I'm hoping there will be a video of you going to war with that W123 wagon in the future.

I vaguely remember you taking an ECM from one PT cruiser to another quite some time back, perhaps you mixed them up later.

I had a California Special, full bell and whistle EVERYTHING. Turbo even. I loved that car. A buddy and my mechanic as well said dump it at 70,000. It blew up at 71,283. Trans, engine, struts..name it. It was a comfortable car that hauled ass. Sad

I've always wanted a PT Cruiser but I didn't have money for one when they first came out. Now a days when you see these things they are all bent out of shape and not taken care. Numerous things broken and the like. All things considered this one is in pretty good shape. I'd buy it. I still have to find time to schedule an appt with you to take a look at my car. However it got into a minor fender bender and now I have some body work to do on before it can be driven again. Looking forward to how this thing turns out.

What has got me is people will spend money on a part not knowing if it will fix concern, instead of paying to have diagnostic done, referring to the pcm

Great video Ray! To this day, I don't understand all the PT Cruiser hate. I'd drive that car all day. I agree that it would be a great loaner/ parts hauler. And if I had any money, I'd buy it. It looks really clean. As far as the wheel speed sensor, I agree that it's probably corrosion from sitting. The good news is, if it's anything like my Jeep, the parts are cheap and easy to fix. I had one go out and I fixed it in about 20 minutes, (15 of which was spent getting myself down under the Jeep), for about $20, and I know almost enough to be dangerous.

I don't know if your scan tool can do it, but input the vin into the ECM and your ABS light will go out. I don't know why Mopar does such strange things.. The dealer wanted to charge me $100 to do it, when I had access to an MDS at work, I kept saying I would get around to it, but never did. The ABS light is still on in my Ram truck.. lol The reason I know this is from many years working for the phone company on their Dodge and RAM trucks..

I've found that if you coat your brake disks and pads liberally with high-temp lithium grease, it will keep them from rusting. There may be small performance losses from this, but at least your brake disks will be nice and shiny.

We rented one in Ks about 20 years ago, a white one. I know it's a car that gets a lot of flak but everyone loved it and it was a really useful car, not fast but it kept up with traffic easy to drive and very easy on fuel. Well done Chrysler for not just doing the easy safe thing. And, a W123 Estate in your lot? what's the story with that?
