#157 of 257 Re: Confirmation of credentials [evesgird] by chdabren Jan 22, 2008 (3:41 pm)
Replying to: evesgird (Jan 22, 2008 9:53 am) Here I sit trying to figure out why they would replace a crank sensor for a misfire condition...while it IS possible...it's remote at best. Was there a code from the computer? Did anyone check the simple stuff like plugs, wires or coil pack? Did anyone test the primary and secondary ignition circuits? It's also possible the computer just needs an update. Those are a few ideas for you to try. I really wish I had the car right here in front of me. As far as the ASE page...I did check it and u're right....seems they've done away with it...my apologies, but I am very much so Master Certified and they don't xpire until June of 2011. Anyway....good luck!! Get back to me with more information if u can.   Chris Replies to this message: evesgird (Jan 22, 2008 9:10 pm) shaew (Apr 21, 2008 9:34 am) tedebear (Apr 21, 2008 2:22 pm)

Replying to: chdabren (Jan 22, 2008 3:41 pm) We replaced the plugs, that was the first thing, and the sensor was stalling at 4000 rpm. He checked the ignition circuit too, though I don't know about the second one, I'll ask. The computer has had the latest update of TCB stuff too. Apparently, he can make it fire in perfect sequence without the computer. He said something about the computer receiving the right signal, but not returning the right info to the ignition?! Does that make any sense?   As for you ASE, I trust you, that's why I contacted you. Anyone whose willing to give out that info, must be for real. Mike is my mechanic and he too is certified by ASE, he's just not a Chrysler guy. As for having it in front of you... well unless you can teleport to Lancaster, CA (edge of the Mojave Desert, best place to the middle of nowhere), I doubt I can accomodate that. Though... if it's not too much trouble is there a way I can contact you either via phone or email if he can't get this resolved.   You can contact me at: evesgirdverizon.net   Sincerely Sabine

Replying to: chdabren (Jan 10, 2008 5:28 pm) ">Now this is very interesting. After all the hype and mention of being ASE certified, on the top of the mechanic's hierarchy, and the challenge to "find out the facts", it turns out that either you are NOT who you say you are, or you dont know your own credentials that well........   I took the challenge you posted on this page 10-Jan-2008 and found that you (#284385 aka RWCarroll) actually have been expired since Jul-2001. No one has to take my word for it, though. All anyone has to do is request a Cert form at the ASE website, fax it in to ASE 703-669-6122 and you will get a response within two days.   You actually did not prove anything about yourself...

Replying to: chdabren (Nov 25, 2007 8:12 am) Pardon me for jumping in but I am new to this site and am trying to find out what is causing the ENGINE LIGHT to stay on also in my PT Crusier 2.4 L engine and the scanner code says PO128 -coolant temp below thermostat and then there is a " 2" PENDING- I need a repair manual!

#165 of 257 Engine Malfunction Light Stays On by ptuser Mar 15, 2008 (11:18 am)
I had the original battery replaced on my 2002 PT Cruiser Ltd at Sam's Club on March 13. The terminals and cables were corroded so they cleaned the terminals (not the corrosion on the cables) but did not replace the cables. On March 14, after using a half tank of gas bought at the usual place, the engine malfunction light came on. I checked the gas cap and it's tight. The car runs fine however there is a bing when I first start up. I read that I can hurt the engine by continuing to run it with the light on and I should take it to the dealer.   What can be the problem? Any opinions?

Replying to: ptuser (Mar 15, 2008 11:18 am) I believe places like AutoZone still offer a free diagnostic code scan. Call around some of the big chain auto parts stores and ask.   The dealer is going to charge you a big fee just for scanning the fault code, before he even fixes anything.
