Chrysler Repair: Electrical, mass airflow sensor, coolant temp


Question
I have a 97 Sebring Convertible 2.5L V-6. The problem is that after replacing the PCM, Distributer {Camshaft sensor and coil included}, Cap, Rotor, Crankshaft Positioning Sensor, Wirings and Spark plugs, EGR Valve, and Air Idle Sensor. The car starts perfect and run fine until it gets hot, then the fan does not turn on and the Engine idles rough and stalls out. After I let the car cool off it starts back up fine until it gets hot then it stalls again with the fan not engaging on. I did the MIL check and got code 11 and 12. Battery Disconnected and Intermitting CMP or CKP or Misfire at numerator limit. All other sensors are fine ie; MAP SENSOR, Mass AirFlow Sensor, & O2. Any Ideal's, Thanks

Answer
Hi Angel,
The fact that the fan doesn't come on when the engine warms and that the engine runs poorly suggests to me that it is not getting reliable information on the temp of the engine and coolant due to an inaccurate coolant temp sensor (but not so bad as to set a code). It is located adjacent to the coolant filler cap/tube structure and has a two-wire (green/white and blue/green) plug with a tab which if lifted gently allows you to remove the plug. If you have access to an ohmmeter I would see whether or not it reads 9-11,000 ohms between the two terminals when the engine is cold and then should drop smoothly in resistance to where at 212F (normal operating temp) it should read 600 to 800 ohms. If it is not showing such a response then replace the sensor. Let me know if otherwise.
