New to this forum but have same problem with low oil pressure light, stalling, etc. How can you pull a code if the check engine light is not on? Did have check engine with generic exhaust code. Had it checked further and replaced cat converter. No light since and passed emissions inspection. STILL has other problem though. O2 Sensor doesn't seem to be problem since check engine is off now. Does anyone have the problem only when during or after wet weather? Thinking crank sensor but that is a lot of work on the cirrus. Want to be more sure before taking that route. Any other ideas... Thanks!

You can still pull any codes that are in memory using a code reader. CEL does not have to be lit to do that.
My experience with crank sensors is that the engine runs or it won't restart when hot. Not heard of missing as a symptom, not to say that is not possible, I just don't know. This engine is known to develop low oil pressure, best and cheapest fix is to replace the oil light pressure sensor (to be safe) and change the oil to a slightly heavier weight . Not much else you can do. Oil light symptom is more apparent in hot climates or hot running conditions.
HTH One guys opinion.

How long have you had this car for you to replace the distributor twice and what transmission problems have you had? Have you gotten the transmission flushed and filter changed when recommended?

what transmission problems did you have. And what was up with the water pump. I have a 1995 Cirrus that I bought like 2 months ago. It needed a distributor and had a vaccum leak and sunday the a/c compressor went out on it but other than that it runs find. Did you get a transmission flush and filter change when suppose to?

I just bought a 1995 Chrysler Cirrus from this white woman and it wasn't running because it needed a distributor. The owner pryor to that was an old woman who drove it very little and was the first owner. The car had around 86,000 miles when the second owner got it and when I bought it from them it had over 111,000 miles but they had all the maintenance recipts. Besides the distributor and the vacum leak which I got fixed and this past sunday the a/c compressor went out I haven't had any problems. What is up with the transmission problems for this year cause I havent had any yet but does anybody know why it has transmission problems? Im getting my transmission flushed and a new filter next week. What Im basically asking is do you'll think I have a pretty good vehicle. Its super clean inside and out along with everything under the hood looking good. I just dont want this transmission going out on me. Any suggestions to make sure I limit the possiblity of transmission problems?
