2004 Pacifica No Start
 

Hey all, ran into a bit of trouble here with a Pacifica I recently acquired. I bought this one here a few days ago and had a small accident with a deer, broke the passenger headlight, quarter panel, radiator ac condenser, and trans cooler, fans, grille, and hood. I replaced all of these parts with ones from a donor vehicle. When I re installed the battery and gave er a go I got nothing at all, pulled the battery and put in a good interstate with a higher cca and now I can get it to turn over but it won’t ever take off. Doesn’t even want to fire off. Fuel pump primes as it should. Everything works besides it not starting. Interior accessories and everyhthing. I don’t have any codes on my scanner. And I have went through and replaced all the ground wires and even added ground wires. I’m at a loss because it ran fine the day I got it and put it on the trailer. The only other thing I can think of is the PCM but being as I’m at a loss I’m asking for help!
Thanks guys

Also check all fuses and everything checked out

Check the timing belt. If OK try a shot of starting fluid, if it fires you can then narrow it down to a fuel problem. If not then a spark problem.

Okay so a little ether in the intake and it pops but won’t try and run. I pulled the fuel line off and have fuel coming to the rail.

A front end wreck with a deer and an older year timing belt driven engine car.....CHECK THE TIMING BELT. not just that it is on , but for correct alignment of timing marks. could have jumped a tooth or two.

okay okay!, tearing it apart now. Not trying to be ignorant but if the timing belt jumped why did it run so good for me when I drove it around the block and put it on the trailer? The battery was dead so I jumped it that day and it fired right up.

Sorry, but you never said that in your original postings, we are not mind readers here...LOL
Recheck ground wires around area of damage?

lol! I said it ran fine! Anyway. I’ve checked grounds and replaced grounds and added grounds. I sure as hell hope that it isn’t a ground issue. Either way I will go back over what I’ve already done. Any other suggestions?

i have re checked everything today. The only thing I can come up with is that the pcm is fried. I’m getting worn out from this Pacifica. I’ve worked on the 47/48RE trans and I would rank this Pacifica right up there with them... Chrysler must mean job security I guess...
