anyone here a mechanic (or just know anything about early 90's chryslers)?[views:4464][posts:13]_________________________________________ [Feb 5,2009 11:00am - orgymaggotfeast ""] ok, i have a 93 chrysler concorde. a month ago, it developed this problem, where anytime it sits in below freezing temps for more than 4 hours, it won't start. it cranks, but it won't kick over.... we had hoped the problem would go away once it had time in some warmer weather.....it didn't my first thought was fuel problems.....all lines we're intact, so we replaced the fuel pump, and fuel filter. car functioned....for 3 weeks. next i thought, ok, if it's not fuel, it's spark. plugs, fine, weres, intact....so i replace all the relay switches, the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor. car worked from last wednesday until last night. this morning, same shit. it turns out the cam sensor was either made by a shitty parts company, or we got a defective one (no magnetization) we get the new one today.....if we put that in and it still doesn't fire.... any suggestions? |

| _________________________________________ [Feb 5,2009 11:29am - orgymaggotfeast ""] i have never had to work on the exhaust, 02 sensor, or cat....so i do not know....but i will definately look into it. it didn't even dawn on me that could be part of the problem thanks |
