I had a neighbor that was having problems with his wife's car. It was running really bad, and after a couple days he determined it needed a valve job. He removed the head and took it to a machine shop. When he got everything back together and it was still running really bad, he asked me to look it over. It took me 2 minutes to find a disconnected vacuum line. I reconnected it and the engine ran fine. He could have saved a bunch of money if he had asked me to look it over at the very beginning.

Great diagnosis. as a person who owned a 2011 Chrysler 300 with a 3.6 L V6 I can tell you that Chrysler engines are very dependent on the oxygen sensor to run properly. I had a spark plug seal fail and drop oil into oxygen sensor in one of the banks and foul the sensor, and it caused my car to run like utter garbage and cause misfires in that whole bank. Ended up having to replace the sensor with a new one and the car ran like great again.

[@brianw8963]

[@scotts4125]

There is usually one reason they are family doctors. In medical school you apply for specialty training it's called matching. It's based on many things. If you don't get matched you become a family doc. I call my Hopkins/Mayo trained wife a doctors doc. Many of her patients are doctors. Not getting matched is usually not good for a career. Sure some docs choose family medicine but for many it wasn't a choice. When choosing a doctor training matters. Educate yourself when searching for a doctor. See where they trained. For instance if you see Caribbean training they couldn't get into a U.S. school. Doesn't mean they aren't a good doc but I wouldn't see that person.

[@brianw8963]

@ That’s good information, Thanks. In my area, We are flooded with the Caribbean type family practitioners, along with too many automotive rip off repair shops. I put them in the same boat. I changed my family “doctor” a couple years ago, mainly for the convenient location, right next to our Harbor Freight, and the name of the “ business” actually is “for your health”. I found that to be humorous after my first talk with the doc. Typical questions like tobacco and alcohol use, and not one single question regarding diet, which in my opinion should be the most important question. He initially convinced me to get on a mild BP prescription and said everything else looked great, except the cholesterol numbers were just a bit higher than normal, but nothing to be concerned about. Very next appointment 6 months later, he was very concerned and wanted me get more meds for that! I politely declined and told him If I needed anything else I would let Him know. And through natural remedies and a moderate bit of walking , tossed the BP meds. I’m 65, fit, and drug free. I think I’m doing alright.

OK what was the date point in terms of voltage that you knew it was heating? Towards the end, you explained you unplugged the oxygen sensor and it’s at 1.27 V really why is that? Is 1.2v unplugged ox sensor the bias voltage? Again wish once ina while you would rake just a couple minutes to explain.

Other OE's do this. Seems to me someone was asleep behind the wheel at the coding desk of this PCM. This was ridiculous! C'mon Chrysler, what are you doing?

[@gadasavideos8564]

Not sure I agree it's running perfectly. How can it be running with the correct mixture since the mixture is no longer being measured? The computer is supplying a mixture that it hopes is correct for the conditions of temperature, load etc. The o2 sensors are there to tell it if it is right or wrong. I admit my experience is smallengines. They'll run fine a little rich which is why government removed adjustment from our carbs.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

You have to be intelligent enough to understand what each part does and the effects. I don't have the second O2 sensors hooked up because they are damaged. They do absolutely nothing for engine control on my particular van. They are pointless except monitoring the cat performance.

I'm disappointed that you would advocate for the O2 sensors to remain unplugged. That is unprofessional, you should have just said and advised the shop to replace the O2 sensors. The EPA looks for crap like this, how many of the diesel boys are getting busted for deleting the emission systems. I know of several repair facilities (auto) that monkeyed with the emission systems and have paid hefty fines: both the shop and technicians. You have a fan base of both experience and unexperienced viewers. What message are you sending to those who really don't understand the why we have the fuel management systems but it is ok to delete the emission system. your putting out the wrong message.
