Chrysler Repair: Sebring conv 1998 start problem, independent garage, seabring


Question
I have a 1998 Seabring convt.  Try to start and it turns and then cuts out.  after 3-5 times it keeps turning and starts.  Know for sure it is not the battery and don't think it is the starter.  What do you think?

Answer
Hi Tom,
I was wondering if you solved the no start on your Sebring, or if you still needed some help?
Use the 'thank/rate' tab below to get back to me if so. And while you are there if you would consider entering a 'yes' where you see the question about a "nomination of me for expert of the month" I would be most appreciative. Thanks in advance.



Hi Tom,
You would best get a handle on this by getting a fault code readout from the engine computer. Go to an Autozone parts store (for free readout) or an independent garage (for about $40) and ask for the 4-digit fault code numbers (if any), what they mean, what they recommend, and how much. Then write back and we'll compare notes.
There are several possibilities and the code will focus us toward one that is probably the cause.
