Chrysler Repair: 98 2,5L: no spark, crank sensor, asd


Question
QUESTION: I saw your last comments - no codes, no spark, checked the erg value.  but here's something very odd.  At one time we were talking about fuse #1 under the hood which is the dwnstrm oxy sen.  With the key on I get 12 volts to every other fuse or circuit under the hood -- except #1 - I get nothing??

ANSWER: That fuse should get power when you are cranking it over, so get a helper to crank it.

QUESTION: At times it wants to fire - really acts like its flooded but then for the most part nothing!

ANSWER: Maybe you have a malfunctioning injector(s)? that are dumping fuel. Are the plug wet?

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: I haven't looked at the plugs - but the #1 fuse gets 12v for about 1 sec when I crank and then it drops to nearly zero

Answer
That means the ASD is not being held closed, because the cam or crank sensor is bad. Keith, we have gone around on this problem when I answered 5 questions on May 7 and 8. Please review my answers, check the sensors outputs, and I believe you will find the answer. Until then, please no more questions.
