Visit my other thread if you have not read it, I started out as a happy camper because I got the car on Sat 11-20-04 and ended frustrated and
because it spent all day in the shop and is a headache to deal with this...
To Brief you in, when the car is off for more than an hour, it has trouble starting up, you hear it trying to crank but it doesn't, the RPM stay very low, I tried accelerator calibration as recommended by 57, but it didn't seem to do anything, no signals to indicate it did. Well, I took it to the dealer...
Whe I got it back from the dealer today, two mechanics said they did not experience the problem. That maybe it was the gas I put, I said bs, because it happened when it still had the original gas it came with from the dealer...
Since they calibrated the pass air bag, they said it might have taken care of the problem because they had it off for about 4 hours and it started up fine... I said ok, I'll give it a try...
Well, right now I went to go try it, and again it would not start, I tried it once and it didn't do it, so I decided to run back inside and grab my didital cam to record a video clip with sound, I tried it again and it failed twice, the 4th time I did what I did last night, I tapped the accelerator at the same time of turning the key and it started fine, seems like the fuel line is getting dry, does that make sense??? any suggestions? Please download the video from the following link, I really apologize for the huge file size (about 7.5 MB) and the poor quality. At least you can hear the engine and you can see the RPM needle.. please provide any feedback before I take it back to the dealer, I really did not feel comfty witht mechanics there, I had to tell them about calibrating air bag sensor because they said they never heard of that problem and that they have to call Chrysler and get help from them...
well, below is the video. thanks for any input!
