I just picked up a 99 concorde - i had passed the state inspection but the check engine light was on - i went to the local auto parts store and used the free diagnosis tool to see the codes - one of the codes was p0700 which told me it was a transmission PROBLEM - i then found 3 transmission places that gave free diagnosis i was commonly told it was the transmission input and output sensors - prices ranged from $180 to $800 for repair - be aware it was in whats called limp mode ( would not shift into higher gears) - went back to auto parts store and picked up sensors for $17 each - they are both located on the same side of transmission (drivers side) take your time on removing connectors - i used a small screw driver to release lock and a 1 inch deep socket to remove and install sensors - pay attention to the part which enters the transmission ( thats the only difference between the two sensors ) - do not over-tighten and check wires and connectors - total time that it took me was about 20 min. - happy to say 200 miles later the car is still running great. I hope this info would be helpful. PEACE

I have a 2002 with the exact same problem. I have heard ignition switch...so I replaced the tumbler, this did not fix it. Did you ever figure out what was wrong & how to fix it?
 
Thanx - Bob

#1256 of 1272 Starting is an issue with new coil pack by toda1

Apr 26, 2010 (12:54 pm)

My 1994 Chrysler Concord with a 3.3L engine would inadvertently shut off without warning. Set and cooled for about 5 - 10 minutes; re started and drove until it warmed up to operating temp and then abruptly shut off. Changed the coil ~ started ran for about 10 minutes and shut off. Changed out the coil again and now it won't start. Checked the fuses to the fuel pump, and relays under the hood. Changed out two relays for good luck. Now it doesn't start at all and have connected the battery charger. Check fire to fuses - good. No current to the coil: when I turn on the switch or try to start...no current. Have current to the fuses under the cover in the car. No obvious fuses blown. I'm sure some one has had this problem before...any thoughts - please....

#1257 of 1272 1995 Concorde ... sell it or keep? by diana_elaine

May 05, 2010 (3:45 pm)

Hiya,
 
I'm new here .. and am looking for a new 'used' car. Thinking of either a Honda Accord, Civic or Hyundai Elantra. But now my heart is sad that I have to give up the power of my Chrysler.
 
It has such power still! Take off is strong ... and I think about 145,000. Only thing is, the AC is broke again, and the body is going really bad quickly (hood and top of car is peeling paint and bubbling up).
 
I need AC because of a health issue .. get very sick in the humidity, so it's a must ... but man, sometimes I just want to fix him up and keep him.
 
Sooo .... I know Hondas are great cars that last ... all thought it's hard to find one in my price range, now I'm thinking of looking at a new Concorde instead. Just not sure if I should stay with such a large car (gas wise).
 
My question was though: should I keep the Concorde for parts, or sell it? It runs great right now, it's just the hood and top. If I get a newer one, parts might not fit ... so maybe I should sell it for BO? What do you think?
 
Oh hey .. great meeting you all!
 
Diana

#1258 of 1272 2001 concorde knocking sound and oil pressure light by alv1969

May 08, 2010 (6:02 pm)

What is the best and cheap way to remove very heavy sludge and trouble shoot a knock that sounds like its at the top of the engine. After about 2mins of running the oil light comes on, i can wait until the next day and restart the car and the oil light is off but after 1 or 2 mins it comes back on. Need help please

I am assuming that you have the 2.7L V-6 and if it is sludged up, you have a serious problem. Also since you have the knocking sound, that too is not a good sign. If you are getting an oil pressure light after two minutes of running and the crankcase is full, then the screen on the oil pump pickup is probably clogged with goo. If you put any kind of engine cleaner in the crankcase, there is a pretty good chance that you will destroy the engine and possibly spin a bearing when you loosen up all of the goo that has accumulated.
 
The best way to prevent sludge is with good care and using synthetic oil. My wife has a 1998 Concorde with the 2.7L V-6 and it has been on a diet of synthetic oil since it was 3000 miles old (now has 61K miles). The top end of the engine is spotless and the valve train is quiet, there is no knocking or anything like that.
