#40 of 71 Engine Ticking after Starting by creoleheat Dec 11, 2007 (4:48 am)
I recently bought a 2002 Chyrsler 300M that I reviewed all the maintenance on it from a Carfax that I ran on it before buying it.It has 75,000 miles on it but also ticks after starting in the morning. Does seem to quiet down after about 5 minutes. Wander whats the cause.

My 300M s turning over very good, but it seems like it's not getting any spark to start it. It acts like the anti theft device is working, but the 2 keys I have are the originals. Where should I begin to try to track down the problem? It's got plenty of gas, & was running fine until I parked it, then came back after a few hours & it wouldn't start. My husand wiggled something around on the battery (it wasn't the cables), a fuse or something, then it started. We drove it home & now it won't start again. He tried wiggling the battery thing again but it didn't work. Thanks for your help.

Replying to: mikec8 (Sep 24, 2007 3:29 pm) My 99 is doing the same thing, no check engine light. Did you get it fixed? There is a post in this forum about replacing a cam sensor. My husband is a tech and when I described what was happening, that was the very first thing he said. Unfortunately, this one may take throwing some parts at it, but the other post here said that that sensor has so far fixed the problem. It can definitely be scary and dangerous!!

Replying to: thequeenjaida (Dec 18, 2007 7:40 pm) This one is probably the starter. I had exactly the same problem. Replies to this message: thequeenjaida (Dec 21, 2007 9:48 am) dwhite9610 (Dec 21, 2007 10:03 am)

Replying to: dwhite9610 (Dec 21, 2007 8:53 am) M husband decided to see if it would start a few days after I posted that message & it started 2 times just fine. I still don't feel safe enough to drive it somewhere & shut it off tho. So you really think it's the starter? I'll tell my husband about that, and hopefully it will do the trick.

Replying to: thequeenjaida (Dec 21, 2007 9:48 am) Yes, mine did exactly the same thing, starting and not starting for several weeks. Sometimes I would go to start it and it would crank like it wanted to start, I would take the key out, put it back in (not that that would actually make a difference) and it would start. Other times it would start right up and then not at all. Fortunately, my husband is a technician and keeps my car going. I am having another problem with it now aside from the tapping/ticking from the engine and ongoing front end issues. I love my car but it has had many things go wrong with it including power windows that haven't worked right from day one, rear hubs, front hubs, starter, a broken spark plug, etc. It is such a beautiful car and I don't want to give it up, but I am not sure how safe it is anymore (107,000 miles).

Replying to: mrjenks (Dec 17, 2007 9:19 am) Hi, have problems with my chrysler 2.5 tdi voyager stalling, wondering if this could be the solution to mine? Diognosis at Chrsyler couldn't pin point it and don't want to just keep throwing money at it .. . .

Replying to: dwhite9610 (Dec 21, 2007 8:44 am) It has been running great...no more stalls at all. Just have them hook up with an diagnostic check even though your engine check light don't come on (mine didn't) it still might get a reading. My 300M has over 150,000 and is running like a champ at this point since the fix (knock on wood).
