QuestionHi,
I have a 1999 Chrysler Sebring convertible V6 2.5 engine and at random times the car would die out when slowing down at a stop light. I would restart the car and it would be fine but then it happened when I was driving on the freeway and this time it did not restart so I had it towed to my house.
My brother who is training to be a smog tech checked it out and it started fine but we got an error code P0320= no crank ref signal at pcm so I purchased a new crank sensor and he installed it but now the car won't start. It turns over and tries to start but then dies out.
We also got an error code P1294= target idle not reached... not sure how to correct that error. Any suggestions as to what it might be?
Thank you in advance,
Donna
