Yes an excellent post. Multi-air is used in the 1.4L Dart and many later small FCA (now Stellantis) cars and that is priming the "Brick". This procedure is explained in the owner's manual and can happen if the car sits for a while. The Brick uses oil pressure and electric solenoids to open the intake valves. It can sometimes take many tries and some people remove the oil filter, press gently on the bypass valve, and crank until oil comes up. That method is shown in Fiat 500 vids. Sometimes there can still be some air trapped and the car can run rough for a while so you might want to shut off and restart. As you explained, make sure to do this with a battery at 12.4V or higher or the electronics might not work.

Worked like a Champ, You the shit!!

good shit man im not a mechanic but i been working on cars 25yrs, and my first thought would have been timing belt, ive built few engines well complete cars but never egg beaters like these, i have a locked up dart i just bought seeing if i can bt reak it free , it rotates 70% then locked 70% backwards locked, som started looking to see if vvt could do it too, a girl went in puddle i drained gallon of water and flushed gallon oil threw it and let ATF sit on pistons over night with plugs out to see if i cant save it

Thanks for this video I was about to pull out the car Engine, …

I totally appreciate that bro. It actually works.😊

I replaced the mulitair brick & now i cant get it started, I tried this procedure but no luck. Any suggestions?

you have to compress the multi air system before putting it bad in or it can completely destroy it

What is the knocking sound when it starts?

That is the, multiair actuators, they are very loud and sound like knock. That's is normal for fiat multiair engines.

Now, my next question is, does it work for a 95 Chevy impala cause they saying you have low compression on that too

Good job bro

You have problems with the multiair system, seek advice on what I'm talking about.

My 2013 dodge dart turbo 1.4L went off when I was driving and it won’t start again but it’s making the same noises can someone help me please

Would it be the same issue on a 2.0l engine 2013 Dodge dart?

You don’t think giving the battery a extra boost is what started it

no the car is multi air the intake valves are actuated by hydrolic pressure- the block that holds and sends the fluid into the actuators when one of these engines sits for any significant period of time without being started the multi air block drains that fluid out and the car wont start. What he did by holding the pedal to the floor is bypassed the fuel system so it wouldn't flood the cylinders. By turning the engine over several times it builds the fluid back into the multi air box allowing the valve system to work properly. The last time he left his foot off the gas which allowed the fuel system to work and it started. It sounded to me like one of the valves is sticking possibly from the emptying of the multi air block but I'm not sure that's for another video.

Question , the same thing is happening to my car except it has a blinking check engine light, is that normal to happen during this situation or is that worse?

No I did not. I just held the accelerator pedal to the floor while I cranked the car. When you hold the accelerator pedal to the floor it cuts out the fuel flow.

The problem was the battery that needed more power.
