#89 of 98 96' Avenger Engine Swap. No start by james_13021 Mar 04, 2009 (3:56 pm)
I swapped an 05' Dodge Neon 2.0L block with the original rebuilt head and componentry from the 96' Dodge Avenger back into the Avenger. Everything went great, but I have no power to the ignition coil, and I have to jump the ASD relay and fuel pump relay to get them to work. The relays had power to activate, but would not close.   I had to take the harness for the Crank Position Sensor (CPS) and route it from it's original location by the oil filter on the 96' block to behind the starter on the 05' block. I initially used the 05' CPS, to no avail, then swapped the 96' CPS to see if it would work with a 5mm spacer, but still nothing.   The wiring harness to the relays had several wires with broken/open covers that appears to have been grounding out, and now have been seperated and repaired.   I have a good ground lead to the coil and both wires from the PCM show good continuity.   I have no fault codes with a Full diagnostic scan.   The 120A alternator fuse was blown, and was replaced.   Is the PCM fried? or what?
#90 of 98 Fixed, but have a P0351 code by james_13021 Mar 15, 2009 (8:22 am)
I pulled the motor, and swapped cranks, and drilled out the CPS hole on the 05' block and ground the face of the CPS mounting surface on the block down to match up with the original .025" sensor to target wheel spacing. After I cleaned it all and put the motor back together it runs like a charm, but just throws a P0351 code, which is in reference to the Primary circuit malfunction to the coil. I will wiggle some wires around or tell the guy he needs a coil. But aside from that it runs great!

#95 of 98 TungK no start by soonerb Aug 26, 2009 (9:10 am)
Have you made any progress?   If not, pull a plug wire and put an old spark plug in it and lay it on some metal on the engine. Have someone crank it over and see if there is spark and get back to me.

#97 of 98 97 Avenger 2.5 won't start by rdeitrich Oct 07, 2009 (3:31 pm)
I have a 97 Avenger with a 2.5 that won't start. I'm not geting spark or fuel. It's my understanding that if the ASD were bad that it would only prevent spark. Because I'm not getting either spark or fuel I assumed that the problem is either the crank shaft sensor, cam shaft sensor or PCM. I was able to detrmine that the crank shaft sensor is good by using a volt meter while slowly turning the engine over by hand. It would alternate from 0 to 5vols and back as the engine rotated. That leaves either the cam shaft sensor, which in reality means replacing the distributor or the PCM. Is there a way to determine which it might be? If there is a flaw in my deduction or you have any suggestions please let m know. Replies to this message: rdeitrich (Oct 10, 2009 12:58 pm)

Replying to: rdeitrich (Oct 07, 2009 3:31 pm) Ok, I was wrong. The ASD does shut off the fuel as well as the spark. Bottom line, because the cam shaft sensor is part of the distributor I had to replace it. It is running again.
