What is the ASD? I have a 98 (6 cylinder) and it's been doing everything mentioned on this site and then some. I've replaced the throttle position and oxygen sensors as well as idle air valve and now the check engine light is back on! I'm willing to replace camshaft/crankshaft, but I need to know what the ASD is. Thanks for posting this information as I am ready to drive this car off of a cliff!

If it's a V6 they don't have a coil pack, it only has a distributor which will run you about $225.00 at Advanced Auto. I think personally it's the timing belt, i would have that checked.

Please confirm the Cam Shaft was the solution to your stalling problems. I am having the same problem. Also, I am hearing a pop coming from underneath the car every time I turn it off. It sounds like something underneath has gotten too hot and the noise is the metal expanding. Any suggestions?

2000 cirrus engine died while on driving on the freeway by spencers225

I have a 2000 chrysler cirrus lxi 2.5L 6cyl. I was driving on the freeway yesterday at about 70 mph in Las Vegas traffic when out of the blue the engine on the car died. I (fortunately) was able to pull over to the side of the road, which was not an easy task as I was coasting. I waited for a few min and attempted to restart the car, but when I turn the key the engine will crank it just wont turn over. I finally had to have the car towed back to my house. It has been almost 24 hrs since this happened and the car still wont start. There was no warning and the car didn't sputter or make any sounds that something might possibly be wrong it just died. I'm so confused as to what could possibly have cause this. If there is anyone out there that might know what would have cause this to happen please let me know. As are a lot of people right now I am on a very tight budget so if this is something that I can fix myself then I would like to try to go that route first before I spend hundreds of dollars on taking the car to a repair shop here, not to mention it is very hard to find an honest repair shop in the Las Vegas Valley. I hope someone out there reads this and can offer me some advise as to what to do.

I have a 1998 Chrysler Cirrus lxi which died suddenly on my way to work this week.
I have checked the coil and distributor with an ohmmeter and everything checks out. I can hear the fuel pump kick in when I turn on the ignition key, and have tested absolutely everything with no spark yet to the engine. 266 000 kms, no problems whatsoever and now sudden death. I will replace a few things in an effort to resolve this issue and post if anything works.

I had a mobile mechanic come out to my house and he replaced the curcuit that the fuel pump relay fuse plugs into. this seemed to fix the problem, but i was on my way back home from california and the car started blowing fuses left and right. I probably went through over 30 fuses just to get the car back to Las Vegas. It sounds like when the curcuit was wired it wasn't wired correctly, but the guy was just here yesterday and he says everything checks out fine. I would check the fuel pump relay fuse. Your curcuit could have blown just like mine did.

Tell me about it. I baught my 95 cheap cuz I was out of work but it's turning into a monry pit. The first time I sent it to a shop right away They said oil was leaking from my spark plugs and causing a conduit for crossfire which destroyed my distributer. I got one from a salvage yard which my shop bench tested a found it was bad. $1,200.00 later new plugs, wires, and gaskets and my car breaks again. I changed gaskets and used dialectric grease done the work myself. Seemed to work for a while but the car died again. I poured 2 gal of water over the hot engine waited 5 minutes and the car started but ran rough at first. Seems to be a heat problem. After further insp. the cooling fans were not coming on. I put in freeon and the fans came on only when AC is on. I changed Coolant sensor and fan work good. The car still stalls. I checked thermostat and water pump, all good. The problem is definately eletrical and I'm guessing sensor so dont go buying computers I'll try cam shaft sensor and will get back to ya. Tommy
