  • Car won't start?? This work is pretty much the same process on all cars. How to test and find out why your car won't start. In this case, I replace a starter. The main thing here is the lack of room to remove and replace the starter, so, be patient and take your time. I found this way to remove the starter so you DO NOT have to remove the exhaust or catalytic converter or the O2 sensors as per the service manual and possibly brake the exhaust bolts or buy an O2 remover tool or... you just have to move a few nuts and bolts and take your time.

    Thanks Paul, you’ve been a great help to me for a long time .
    Question; what type of lift are you using for the car ? Is it safe ? I’m sort of weary of getting under my car while lifted . Thanks

      Thank you ! The lift is an old Bendpak with 6000 max lift still works great

      the sticky key issue is an easy 20 min DIY fix and the starter failing is extremely rare. Too bad you did not buy one as they are great sports cars

    2001 Mercedes slk320 at 2004 crossfire is identical except body. 2001 benz slk starter is dead, every step that your use is perfect! Last one, that is professional way to use pulse to check and if the starter is good on not good. Thankyou very much from North east Georgia

    Thank you sir for the amazing video. I replaced the starter and it started right up before I put everything back together, then once I put Idle arm and shield back on, it wouldn’t start after that! What happened? I’m lost now. Thanks

    Could you confirm that the solenoid also pulls the engagement gear, or is it by centrifugal force of rotation. In the video you assume it is the centrifugal action. I would like to know for sure. This video is a keeper, thanks.

    Hello Paul ; haven’t seen any new videos in a while. Hopefully you and yours are doing fine. I have a question for you , not to long. My crossfire runs great, thanks to you, and passes smog easily. I’ve notice quite a while back, but thought that now is a good time to figure it out. When I start my car, I hear a puffing sound coming from engine, exhaust, I can’t figure it out. Is there any thing that you can suggest? I checked all hoses , vacuums that I can see. Puffing sound is only heard while engine is started at idle.. Can’t hear sound when I’m driving. Like I said , car is in extremely great running condition. Please suggest anything you might think I could check out. Thanks Paul

    • @CrossfireRepairsByPaul
      @CrossfireRepairsByPaul  5 месяцев назад +1

      Hi Mike. Have you checked to see if the secondary air pump turns on when you 1st start the car? It should
      Only run for a short time then turn off

    • @mikeyincalif
      @mikeyincalif 5 месяцев назад +1

      That’s a pretty expensive part to replace. How would I know if that’s the problem. Very faint puffing sound, only when cars is first started cold. I’ve not had any error check engine lights that have come on. Had to smog it this past June. California has us smog every other year. Car runs great. I think I’ll check the hoses on secondary pump. There was a you tuber who demonstrated changing out the pump. All of his comments were about error codes lights coming on. Maybe I’m just being a little too analytical. Always been my problem. lol. Anyway, I’ll check more for any leaks. I’ll let you know what I find . Thanks Paul. I live in Palm Springs California . When I take either of my convertibles out for a drive , I get so many positive comments about my 2005 crossfire that I purchased when it was 2 years old , with 17,000 miles , now with 120,000. All from traveling from Ventura county to Palm Springs back and forth every week before I retired . My 2002 T-bird that I purchased new in may of 2003 only has 31,000. On it. But people only smile at it, but stop and talk to me about the Crossfire. You got to Love it , or Hate it. I love both my convertibles. I’ll let you go and will let you know what cure that I find. Later Paul. Take Care ! I just thought about what you said about the secondary pump turning on for short time , then turning off. Like I said before, I only hear that faint puffing sound for a very short time on first cold start up. Maybe there is no problem ; just the pump doing what you said. 🤔🤔🤔I’ll keep checking. Thanks

    When testing the starter do it matter if it's a manual will it still crank with out pushing in the clutch

      When testing directly from the pulse module, you are

    Hi Paul....Martien here from the Netherlands.
    My Crossfire showed the next error twice in a row.
    When the engine is realy warm and I stop and turn of it will not give the key.... and it says ESP/ BAS light is on. The wing went up and down one time. It is an automatic 2007.
    After 3 hours I start the car...turn it of and it wil give the key.
    Stickey key issue is impossible because I fixed that 3 weeks ago. I took it out to prevent stickey key issue.
    I am a member of the Crossfire club in the Netherlands and some hints are RCM or neutral safety switch problems.
    What do you think????

    So on one of your older videos for the Chrysler crossfire throttle pedal sensor....
    Im having to replace mine.... is the sensor in the pedal? Im going to buy a whole gas pedal assembly do i just plug in the wire harness to the new pedal i cant find a single video anywhere my car is gone in linp mode. My sensor is broken. I just dont know exactly how to go about fixing it.

      The sensor is indeed on the throttle pedal and the sensor is none serviceable, a new or used pedal is needed
