#30 of 71 Re: 300M RANDOM STALLING [robinr1] by rogjack6112 Oct 18, 2007 (11:25 am)
Replying to: robinr1 (Oct 18, 2007 9:36 am) Hi Robin The stalling was a bad fuel pump which I ordered on ebay and dropped the fuel tank and installed. problem solved now over a year. I had the crank sensor on a Co . My wifes Concorde had the starter go out last yr and cost $400. I also replaced the electric radiator fan on the 99m last yr -again off ebay and did myself. Both cars now at 110,000 and doing well. PS when the window sticks I bang on the mid door while holding down the button and it comes down. Good luck with yours --these forums are a great help.

#32 of 71 Re: 2001 3.5L Stalling Replaced Crank Sensor, But... [mikec8] by robinr1 Oct 23, 2007 (11:27 am)
Replying to: mikec8 (Sep 24, 2007 3:29 pm) My 2001 300m car (100,000) is having the same exact problem. So far I have had a tune up ($150), cleaned fuel line($130), fuel pump relay switch ($10), dry gas with high octane, but the car is still stalling. Now the dealership said ERG valve should have been changed at 60,000. I have read from others that the fuel pump as worked but the dealership didn't say. I'm at my wits end - it stalled the other day on highway merging into traffic to get onto another highway, also stalled on the ramp - it is getting scary.

Replying to: mdcitrus (Jul 06, 2007 12:38 pm) I have this exact same problem with my 99. I installed a new battery (it was needed anyway) and have replaced the battery ground cable to the remote starting point. I was thinking of replacing the battery positive cable but now don't have much confidence. I'm thinking mine might be a starter with a bad segment, or the solenoid itself clicking but too weak to fully fire and engage the starter. I'm curious to see if there is any help. Thanks, John Replies to this message: zuissjw1 (Dec 02, 2007 6:51 am)

Replying to: zuissjw1 (Dec 02, 2007 6:36 am) After reading into the forum a bit more, it looks like I should try the starter ignition relay and if that doesn't work, the starter ignition switch. I might try the first one myself, but would probably have a shop do the second. Thanks and I'd still welcome any other suggestions, John
#36 of 71 Stalling Problems by mrjenks Dec 17, 2007 (9:19 am)
My 99 Chrysler 300M was also stalling on me. I would be driving and all of a sudden it would shut down. In the begining it would start right back up so I didn't worry about it too much. This has been happening off and on for about a year. Recently it had been stalling more frequently (up to 4 times a day) and it took longer to get it started back up again. Of course I got concerned because when it did stall the steering wheel would lock up due to no power, and that got dangerous on some occasions. I took it in to my favorite local car repair guy and got a reading of bad Cam Sensor, even though my check engine light never ever came on during these stalling moments. He changed out the Cam Sensor and it has been running smoothly ever since (going on 3 weeks now). Seems like it did fix my problem (knock on wood) and car running like usual. I love my 300M so I am glad that it is running normal again. Replies to this message: dwhite9610 (Dec 21, 2007 8:44 am) mrjenks (Dec 27, 2007 7:21 am) jay114 (Dec 24, 2007 10:32 am)
#37 of 71 Ticking noise after starting. by gman47 Dec 11, 2007 (4:48 am)

#38 of 71 Ticking noise after starting. by gman47 Nov 07, 2007 (7:04 pm)
Chrysler 300M 3.5L. After starting it ticks badly. The rpm is normal, idle is good, no smoke, no check engine lights, oil is clean, oil level is good. Sound like it coming from the top of the motor, after moving the shift from park to reverse the noise went away, but then after you put back in park or drive it ticks badly. Help me Is it my top cam shaft ticking? or exhaust? Replies to this message: gman47 (Nov 07, 2007 7:06 pm)
