#552 of 621 Re: '00 300M starting problem [eden4] by aklotzek Jun 16, 2006 (7:05 pm)
Replying to: eden4 (Nov 16, 2005 6:30 am) Hi.... I am also working through that same problem on a 2001 model. Started about 2 months ago. I have not replaced at this time as no one can seem to tell me what the problem is. Have you had any luck in figuring this out.

Replying to: aklotzek (Jun 16, 2006 7:05 pm) I have just purchased an '01 Chrysler 300m and I am having this same problem. I would like to know what the problem is (fuel injector etc.) For my car, the problem is ALL the time. No matter how long it sits or doesn't sit, it will turn over but will not stay on. Sometimes it will take 5 times to get it to stay on sometime only one, but the problem is there. I would like to know what to look at so I can try and fix this problem. I hope I'm not stuck with a ! I've tried pumping the gas to get the injector going and not pumping it...I"m at a loss! And I don't have a lot of money to get the stupid thing fixed (having just bought it) so I would like to know the right direction to start looking Replies to this message: intrepidspirit (Jun 20, 2006 2:39 pm)

Replying to: ctfang (May 29, 2006 2:21 pm) A starter switch in the steering wheel base on these goes out and it is an easy repair. Ask the dealer for the part after reading the past posts. It has been a couple of years since I did this and dont remember the details but should be in this forum somewhere. Of course wait till it gets worse. Good Luck!
#556 of 621 300M does not crank properly by mckinnon91 Jun 21, 2006 (9:31 am)
I have a 2001 Chrysler 300M. My wife and I loved the car until the transmission went out at 45000 miles. A variety of problems have occurred since that time. Here is the one that continues to puzzle me and my mechanic, who has looked the car over at least 3 times and cannot find the problem……and therefore he doesn’t know how to fix. I hope someone here can give me a solution or at least provide some insight.   When cranking cold my car will not start immediately. It will try to crank for approx 3-5 seconds then it will fire up but run “rough” for another 3-5 seconds then smooth out and runs fine after that, good acceleration, etc. It always has a funny gas like smell from the exhaust when it does this as well. If I turn the car off and try to recrank it will fire up immediately….so it seems to be a cold start problem only. My mechanic of 25 plus years cannot figure out what is going on here. He has cleaned the injectors which he originally thought was the problem and checked everything else under the sun, fuel pressure, fuel pump, etc etc. all to no avail. He said whatever the problem it is not serious enough to trigger the “check engine light” so therefore the car’s computer is not sending out any codes. He said he could think of several things that it “might” be but they were all too expensive to be a “trial and error approach” to fixing the car. To date the car has never left me stranded although I am concerned this will eventually happen. It is quite embarrassing when in the parking lot and everyone is looking at you cause your motor is turning over for 5 seconds prior to finally firing up. I would be most appreciative if someone could give me an idea as to what is going on here. My car still only has 56000 miles on it and is paid for so I don’t want to start over with a new car for a while but my wife is adamant about getting this fixed. I don’t blame her. Can anyone help me? Replies to this message: kjconway (Oct 10, 2006 6:39 pm)

Replying to: bluesdude (Apr 20, 2006 1:13 pm) Replaced the crank sensor 4 weeks ago and have had no further problems Replies to this message: wakekiller (Jul 24, 2006 12:23 pm) rogjack6112 (Aug 17, 2006 8:17 am)
#558 of 621 Re: Tie rod problem? [gsloat] by ewleigh Jun 22, 2006 (6:52 am)
Replying to: gsloat (May 04, 2006 4:03 pm) I have just experienced the same problem with my 2000 M and am very worried at how expensive this is going to be. What were some of the problems you encountered with this. I have noticed that when I start slowing down my car shakes and the driver side tire is very unstable. This happened all within one week. I have already had so much repaired within the last month. Any help is much appreciated.
