I Have a 2001 PT with 108,000 miles on it. My mechanic (non-dealership) diagnosed a broken lower motor mount. To change it will require about 6 hours of shop time, he says. Any ideas on an easier fix? Also, any problems if I don't change it?

The 1682 and 1684 codes are factory codes the p0700 is a speed sensor code. The speed sensors are easy to replace yourself their right under the battery box. Hurry and replace them if not youll be doing what I have to do now to my kids car and replace the trans. control module. Once you've replaced the sensors the codes will erase and also check the EAXT fuse which is in the same area, most likely thats blown.

Reference to a reply by "fatdawgy" on Nov. 25, 2007 about "Re:PTmisfiring, engine bucking". I don't know where u got the information on 1682 and 1684 for "factory codes, much less telling someone that the speed sensors are located under the battery box. At this point, which speed sensors are u talking about? Input/Output speed sensors or wheel speed sensors? Second...why would u tell someone that if they don't replace these sensors in a "hurry" they'll have to replace the trans. control module? This is so not true. The speed sensors, do not harm the EATX module. They simply use a magnetic field to tell the module what speed the input and output clutch turbines are spining at. The EATX uses this information to determine shift points and actuate the solenoids in the trans soleniod pack as well as operate the speedometer. Wheel speed sensors simply tell the ABS module what speed each wheel is turning at. And simply replacing the Input/Output speed sensors DOES NOT clear codes. Codes don't clear on their own. Please don't give out misinformation. That is worse than misdiagnosing a problem that can ultimately cost ALOT of $$ for a simple problem. Failure of Input/Output speed sensors ONLY affects shift points and does NOT ruin an EATX module. IF the sensors fail OR if the EATX module does go bad, the trans usually will go into "limp in" mode which means only 2nd gear is available. Take this info and use it as u wish but it's info that is clear, concise and on the money. Not to mention it comes from a Master Certified Chrysler tech. It's also available on an exclusive Daimler/Chrysler website dedicated to Chrysler vehicles and available only to Chrysler Employees.

ok.......first of all...u can't swap an '03 engine into an '01 PT. The controllers are different (computer), the crank sensor is different. The ground locations for the engine wiring harness are different. Why did u need to replace the motor? Or why was the motor replaced? You, my friend now have a 2,500 lb. paper weight. You can however, excersise a few options here. If you're lucky, you can swap in an '03 engine harness and MAYBE everything will match up, but you'll have to pay xtra special attention to little things....like the connectors for sensors. They have to be the same. The engine comptuers from year to year are different in that the software is different and you cannot "reprogram" them. On top of that, you can't just swap in an '03 computer because a "used" computer already has a VIN# programmed in from the vehicle it came out of. My advice? Simple, get a used 2001 engine and do a swap again OR get another car. You cannot swap engines like that. The dealership is right....it won't work!! If I can help further....just let me know. Good luck!
