Hi everyone, new here

The parents 2004 Sebring 2.7l had trouble starting today. It would crank like normal but the engine would just not catch on, like if there was no fuel or spark. The car was working fine all day, but after resting for about an hour outside, it decided to not start. Came back an hour later and got it started after a try or two. I've read a few different things about Sebring’s stalling, but it’s not the case. I was the one who drove it before and after it not wanting to start, and it drove like normal.

Car has 120k kilometers

Thanks in advance

 

Is there a question here? If there is, hook up a scanner and get the codes and come back with it.

 

Upps sorry

My question is if someone knows what could have happened yesterday when it didn't start. Like I said, the car drives well now. It’s the first time it acted up like this. CEL light did not go on once during the start up or while driving.

Thanks

 

No point in guessing what might have been the problem. Get the codes to see where the problem is. A car has about 30,000 parts. Hundreds of parts are involved in starting the car.
"My car won't start, what could be wrong?" is merely an invitation to start guessing. When problems arise in the engine, the engine computer can usually recognize them and will set an error code that can be read with the right equipment. That's the place to start.

 

i'll check it this week-end.

 

2002 Chrysler sebring lxi woun't start, security ligth is off when turn key, bettery starter and fuses are good.
Before I had similar start problem, but security ligth was on when I start the car, and goes off when engine starts, now security light remain off all the time.

Please help?

 

What is the security light?

This one was flashing for no reason a few months ago ??

 

If you lock the car with the electric locks or the remote key fob, this light will flash after about 30 seconds and will continue to flash indicating the security system is armed. If somebody tries to open the car by reaching through the window and opening the door from the inside, the horn will sound repeatedly and the headlights will flash, calling attention to the miscreant and hopefully scaring him off.
If you don't lock the car when you leave it, the system will not arm, likewise, if you lock the car not using the electric locks, the system will not arm.
When all else fails, try reading the owners manual.

 

thanks, wasn't expecting something that detailed :thumbup:
