2005 Chrysler Sebring mysteriously died, won't start
Got a 2005 Chrysler Sebring 2.4L auto 130k miles. Has always been a good car, haven't ever had any issues with it. The other day the car just died on me idling in a drive thru. Won't start! Cranks over just fine just won't run. Can hear the fuel pump running, checked all 4 plugs for spark and the timing belt is fine. Checked all the fuses and relays, everything is fine. There is no CEL, scanned it and no codes. Even after it sat for a couple hours still nothing. Really at a loss here, what could it be?? Are there any common failures on these Sebrings? Don't know much about Chrysler's Im hoping someone can help me out. Thanks for the help!!

If you have spark and fuel, it should start. You say you have spark at all four plugs, then it must be a fuel problem. Check the fuel pressure at the fuel rail. It should be 53 to 63 psi.
You say you can hear the fuel pump running. It should run only for a few seconds. If it's running continuously, there's a problem. |
How sure are you that the timing belt is ok? Does it sound different when you crank it than it did before?

Thanks for the replies guys.
Tore into it a little more, it turned out to be the timing belt! When I first initially "looked at it" it was just a small peek and really not enough room to get in there and look at the whole thing. Getting fixed now though, good thing this motor isn't an interference motor!! |
