I have a 1999 300m 3.5L and I was told that 3 of 6 ignition coils are bad. I was quoted a price of $685.00 to replace all or them, this included cleaning the throttle body.Does any one know where I can purchase these coils at a reasonalble price.

I had one coil on my '99 300M go bad a while ago and I was able to buy one at Auto-Zone for around $40.00. I don't know why cleaning the throttle body would be included in the estimate you got if the coils were bad. I have 153,400 miles on my car now.

Stalling, Replaced Crank Psn Sensor--Now what? by mikec8

300M, 3.5L (2001). Replaced crank sensor but same stalling problem. Maybe a better description would help all you troubleshooters out there. Would appreciate advice on next try...
1. Never stalls around town, only after driving awhile at highway speeds, then only as I come to a stop.
2. As I slow to a stop, I notice the tach bouncing up and down around idle point, but just goes a little lower each time until engine dies.
3. Cranks right up.
4. Never stalls while at steady speeds.
5. Once I get back into town and drive at slower speeds for awhile, problem goes away.
6. Plenty of pep, good acceleration in town and on highway.
 
Any guesses what I might try next?

Weird issue by jonathan_216

The other night I started the car and it acted like it was not firing on all cylinders. So I turned it off and restarted it. Did the same thing. Decided to drive and it stopped acting like it was going to die. Has anyone had this kind of issue before? I have a 1999 300m 155,000 on her, She's never done it before and I did not get any lights to come on and it did not throw any codes ran a diagnostic on her the next day. Any tips or suggestions to maybe find out or correct the problem would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the fuel injectors are dirty. Try a can of Techron or other good injector cleaner before your next fill. After it gets into the fuel system and cleans out the dirty injector(s), the car will run almost like new again. i've cured this problem for years on various cars from a Corvette to an Intrepid. Sometimes the inj. cleaner will make the ENGINE LIGHT come on but thats only until the stuff has burned thru the tank. Also you can burn some premium gas occasionally too, seems to work just about as good as injector cleaners.

Water on driver's side door.
Yea, this seem to be common when it rains or during a heavy car wash, so look at the trim on the driver's side at the top of the door and the front windshield glass, it should be black in color and about 1/2 inch, this area has been the usual leaky point. Pull on it just a little bit to see if it is loosen or weaken from the adhesive. It easily snaps up so you may want to get some adhesive or RTV to try and plug the void.
After you add the RTV or which ever your chose, monitor it during the rain or wash.
Hopefully this works for you.

Hello Everyone,
 
I used to be active on this board years ago, but quit as it grew less active. Just would like to check in to report that my '99 is still running very strong at 140K, and looks great. The candy apple red paint has held up very well, and so have my chromed razorstars, which look like new when polished. People don't believe that the car is 8 years old! I plan to keep it quite a while yet, since it just keeps running like the energizer bunny. I have had to replace suspension components (front struts, sway bars, etc.) a couple of times, possibly because I have a bad habit of zooming over speed bumps. Took it to a 5 star (which I seldom do) last year and they fixed the light show that was starting to occur with the interior lights, and also stopped the fuel gauge from chiming and bopping up and down (they cleaned the electrical contacts).
 
A previous post was inquiring the best route to go for a tranny; I was wondering the same thing, thinking mine can't last too much longer, although it seems fine. Think I will try the local junkyard which I know offers a warranty. I'm also surprised that the exhaust system has never needed a new pipe or muffler. I know it's made of stainless steel but I never had one last so long before; very nice! If anyone has any advice on what problems might occur w/my high mileage car I'd appreciate it. Normally I would be rid of a car by now. Happy 'M Cruising!
