Intermittent Extended Crank or Hard Start on a Chrysler 300

[@shotthebarber3008]

Thank you so much my dad died 5 years ago and he always had this problem with they car the dealership could never figure it out when u described the cranking I knew exactly what you are talking about. I can’t wait to try this and I swear to god if it starts right up I will cry cuz I always knew how much he wanted to fix it. I plan on ordering the parts this week from the dealership will keep u posted

[@thelimogarage9665]

Please let me know if this fixed it. I'm always happy to hear amazing stories. Thank you.

[@adamgutierrez6408]

Sorry for your loss. How did fixing the sensor work ?

[@Dandd1821]

Just bought a 2010 300 and it’s doing the long start , looking forward to fixing it, Video ,explained scenario and how to fix very quickly and easily,Thx.

[@thelimogarage9665]

You are very welcome. Good luck.

[@ms.ladylight3209]

Where have you been all my life! Thank you so much...I was having this issue. Wish you could be be my mechanic. Hope you don't mind answering some questions whenever I have another issue ❤🙏🏾

[@thelimogarage9665]

I'm happy to help.

[@tonymontana6926]

Would it set an engine code if either one goes bad?? I’m having problems with mine but no codes..

[@elliotguerro7612]

Thanks for Sharing this video and taking the time to explain what the crank and cam shaft do, very well explained.

[@positivitypeddlervibes]

Great video! This is exactly what I was looking for in terms of a visual on the location for camshaft and crankshaft sensors. Do you have a video of what it sounded like before this fix? That would be super helpful! And as far as pricing goes, you are 100% right on that. Prices at my local autoparts stores are about $150 for one of the sensors and about $250 for the other. Crazy....

[@thelimogarage9665]

Before I replaced the sensors the engine would still start but it would crank over for about 30 seconds before starting.

[@calvinhoward2277]

😂 I just can't seem to find my car is having. It starts up fine when you first start the engine like everything's okay. But after the car's been running for a hour or so, it won't start. The starter would drag like the battery is dead, but after the car cools off for about an hour or so, it will start just fine again. Can anyone help me with this damn problem!? It has a brand new battery and I got the starter replace at the beginning of the year, and a voltage meter reads that the alternator is good although it fluctuates up and down sometime

[@thelimogarage9665]

Pull up the carpet on the front passenger side floor. Just under the glove box. There is a terminal There where the battery cable connects from the trunk to the other side of the firewall for the starter. This connection is known to get loose and corroded. I hope this helps.

[@JuSki-m5n]

I had a Pontiac grand am do that to me but after I replaced the coil packs it ran just fine never got stranded somewhere again 😂

[@delano62]

Thanks for the video. I am positive this is the problem with 300. I've been putting up with this starting issue for way too long, and haven't found any solutions until now. I'll definitely give this a try.

[@thelimogarage9665]

It is a very common problem. I'm glad I was able to help.

[@timbowen3526]

Have u checked your timing in the pink 300

[@saggerssaggers9444]

Damn he good I got a 2009 dodge the trans went out 2 years ago put it in the shop the trans went out I put to in the first 1 no good but the car will start right up I just put trans # 3 and it take a long time to start I started to jump by new parts thanks for the video

[@quintaylor4837]

Do you have any videos for how to replace the starter and should purchase it from the dealer specifically or does it matter if I get that elsewhere for a least expensive price? Thanks, great video!

[@mariomartinez8466]

Where is the crank sensor located on the 2009 chryselor 300 c

[@danilogomez5174]

Would have liked to see the before part of the vehicle so I could know exactly what it was doing.

[@alexross5620]

I have a 2011 Chrysler 300C it's ice cold when I drive but in traffic it is warm is that has the same problem as the charger on your video

[@thelimogarage9665]

Thanks for calling me, I hope my advice helps.

@@thelimogarage9665 it's rare to find someone that actually would give you credible free information that actually wants to help . I took my car to the dealership for an alternator and another warranty issue. I simply asked what day or over the car and see what needed to be addressed they proceeded to tell me he would be $150 for that kind of inspection but they would do a free safety inspection!I pick the car up and I simply asked you that ticking noise I heard was that a serious problem was that the manifold or was that the typical which you're not supposed to worry about supposedly. I simply asked what the technician what he thought about the car the sound was I imagining the problem that was not there break even call him or get him on the phone. .used to work at a motorcycle dealership and when we have customers come in there and even if they were the cheapest tightest not ones that kind of money you would still want to know what the bike need free of charge. But not the Dodge dealership. .and it's awesome to find someone that will give you good creditable advice and actually pick up the phone; and take time out of your schedule to talk to you

@@alexross5620 fortunately I have been a technician my entire life so I never had to rely on dealerships. Whenever I have information that I think is valuable I'm happy to share it with anybody that it may help.

[@cristiansilva4145]

I have the same problem but the rpm is high at 1500 just like urs on the video, any idea what it could be?

[@thelimogarage9665]

You probably need to clean the throttle body and re set the idle with a scanner. I would also check for vacume leaks .

[@bobbycouncil3385]

I know this is a year old now but did you have any codes ?

[@jessicam.3672]

My 05’ 300c recently started doing the same thing but it’s only happened a few times so far. I hope by replacing both sensors it fixes the problem. Can it also be a leak in the fuel system? Before I bought my car it had been sitting for a few years without it being driven. I’ve already had to get the head gasket and oil pressure sensors replaced. It’s recently had a tune up and battery changed

[@thelimogarage9665]

You may have a problem that is called bleed back. What that means is that your fuel pressure bleeds back down into the system when the vehicle is shut off. Then it takes time for the pump to prime the injectors on startup. The best way to test this is to put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail and see if it holds pressure after you shut the vehicle off.

[@michaelbrowder9124]

What's codes does the vehicle throw when these issues pop up?

[@thelimogarage9665]

I didn't have any codes. You may get a code for cam or crank signal lost.

[@Darunnadope]

Ur the man folk

[@nategibson7953]

I replaced both but then had a camshaft sensor check engine light come on with the new camshaft sensor so I put the old one back in and now it does the extended start again but the check engine light is gone any ideas?

[@thelimogarage9665]

Did you buy the parts from the dealer? I have seen this problem happen with aftermarket parts. That's why I recommend using Mopar only.

[@nategibson7953]

@@thelimogarage9665 no got them at advanced auto parts

[@thelimogarage9665]

That's your problem right there.

[@candymansalgado8723]

I have a Chrysler 300 keep shutting off when I stop would you know the problem for that?? thanks

[@solowanderlust]

Temperature sensor. Check for any leaks in the radiator

[@iamdaniellara]

Hey The Limo Garage! I’ve had the same problem for about 3 months now. I’ve changed the cam and crank sensors but still takes too long to crank soon i’ll be replacing the throttle and fuel pump. I’ve had code scans and all that pops up is cam, crank sensors, knock sensor, O2 sensor and ECM malfunction, Throttle body failure... is there anyway you could help? Thanks A Lot it’s a Chrysler 300 C 2005 Hemi RWD

[@syndakitpanda1777]

i believe there is a tsb for that engine . check the ground connections i think the one that goes bad is behind the passanger head.

[@danilogomez5174]

syndakitpanda1777 where is that located

[@solowanderlust]

I have a 2014 that has the same problem. I thought there is a leak In the fuel line since Chrysler adapted Mercedes system

[@tennesseesam7697]

why is that in some videos they recommend taking the starter off ???

[@ibwicked69cc]

I think that's the V8

[@shannonmattingly7107]

Do you need to unhook the battery when you're changing these

[@thelimogarage9665]

No you do not.

[@kaisyoutubelife6596]

Is this the same for the 2.7 liter v6 turns over but won't start

[@thelimogarage9665]

I don't think you're going to find the same results. The best way to be sure is to put a scanner on the vehicle to see if you're receiving a signal from cam and crank sensor when it does not start.

[@Hubcaps219]

Is nobody going to talk about the color and doors?

[@joegarcia3259]

Thanks for the video. Does the vehicle need to relearn the crankshaft and cam shaft sensors after changing?

[@thelimogarage9665]

Nope plug and play.

[@AveryHellasmoove]

What if it cranks but doesn’t start? Same issue?

[@thelimogarage9665]

The only way to be sure is by using a scanner. Check the data when cranking the engine, if the cam and crank sensors are good you will see them responding in the data.

[@dd60622]

Yeeeees, it's VERY embarrassing 🤣🤣💀

[@ronnieo6867]

Good job

[@Hubcaps219]

1:06 and this is why I will never again buy a GM or Plymouth car. Not reliable at all.

[@Crazystories4real]

Way easier to go from the top of the engine to get it. It's in the too of the transmission

[@benjaminkennedy5311]

I tried it. Still won’t turn over. It just sits there with the starter spinning. But won’t fire

[@rogeliogarcia3420]

Change your spark plugs
