Chrysler Repair: 2004 Chrysler Sebring limp mode, 2004 chrysler sebring, chrysler sebring


Question
Hello I have a 2004 Chrysler Sebring sedan 2.4l DOHC. My computer shows a P0344(i believe) which is a cmp sensor. I have run tests for 12 hours trying to figure this thing out. The car runs perfect until it reaches about 2500 rpm and it is like it hits a rev limiter. When I sprayed a quick shot of starting fluid in it revved past to 3200. I have checked the timing and the marks appear to be dead on with the cam sprocket marks at 3 and 9 and the crank at just off 12 to line up to the marks. I have performed a vaccuum test(held 20 in overnight, a compression test(190 lbs each cylinder), a fuel pressure test(55-60 lbs while idling or revving and didnt lose any pressure after 5 minutes), i removed the catalytic converter to be sure this wasn't causing the issue, I have replaced my EVAP purge solenoid because that code was thrown at one point, I replaced the CMP twice, and even tried unplugging the CKP to see if the status of the CMP changed and it didn't. I just cannot think of what else my problem might be. Would a worn timing belt cause this possibly even if it appears to be perfectly in line with #1 TDC? I just don't know and any information you could help me with would be appreciated. Thank you very much
Bryan

the software will stop u from going over 2500   think for a sec  why would u need to have the engine over 2500 when the engine is not in gear or moving?

check your voltages and ground at the cam sensor
