1998 Sebring LXI will not start everytime.Sometimes it will start the first time and then sometimes it takes 5 times to get it to start. Replaced the distributor and it started everytime for a week and the it started back doing the same thing in the begining. Had it checked with a computer and no fault was found. Replace the CPS and nothing changed. HEEEEEEEEEEEElp

So you are saying that mine is not under this bullett? and if not what is going on?

 

no that is a tsb they does apply to your car but u are way out of warranty and would haft to pay for a computer update. Does the tsb sound like what your car is doing if so then this may fix your car.

 

No.after reading again.Mines just starts when it wants to.Sometimes it takes 5 turnovers to get it to start and other times just one.Have installed 3 different rebuilt distr. and only one of them last a week. Was told by a chrysler mech that only the oem ones would only work. So that is where i am with a rebuilt distrb. and it just started 3 times in a row ,but the distrb was installed Sunday and only started 1 time then
