Diagnosing Another Dodge Charger - Turns Over But WON'T START
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video, I'm diagnosing another Dodge Charger. It turns over but doesn't start. It broke down on the side of the hwy, and the customer had it towed into the shop.
The diagnostic process on this one was pretty simple, but first I had to charge the battery. You can't really diagnose anything with a bad battery. You can use this process on just about any vehicle. I didn't use any special tools on this one, as I try to put myself in the typical DIY person's shoes.
As Always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to put them down in the comment section.

Hi Alex, I have a 2007 charger 3.5, car was running and it shut off. Towed it home and put my OBD2 and I got P0340 and suggested to replace cam and crank sensor and possibly the VVT sensor! I replace a couple of fuses and noticed I didn’t get any spark at the plugs while cranking?

Hey there is the check engine light on? It sounds like you you have a bad crankshaft sensor
So I have 2009 Charger with the 2.7L. It died yesterday while driving. It will not start back up but cranks good. I tested the battery and battery was weak after charging back up so I replaced my battery. I’ve checked all ground straps and they are good. I have spark, air and power but seems like its not getting fuel. I’m getting 12.62V at the connector on the fuel pump when the key is turned on and I can hear the pump but still a no start. All fuses and relays are good. Serpentine belt spins just fine while cranking. I’m thinking the fuel pump is either weak or bad. What are your thoughts?

What I’m basically seeing is misfire codes and ECM low-voltage codes you may have a wiring issue,depending on your engine size.I have seen corrosion buildup at the computer/ECM.I had a similar issue on a charger with the 5.7 Hemi. The computer is located underneath the crawl,basically the little plastic cover between the hood and the windshield check for corrosion at the computer but before you do that make sure that the battery and charging system is good. Tip anytime you’re working with the electric system make sure the battery is unplugged especially if you unplug the computer that’s a good way to fry your ECM

Hey buddy. Let’s start with what’s the eng size. You need a scanner that reads your engine data, make sure the car is reading 150 to 200 rpm’s while cranking over the engine that will tell you if the crank shaft position sensor is good, a bad one 0 or erratic next make sure the timing belt/chain is rotating the cams, a cylinder compression test is a good way to tell if the engine is in time or not. You can find the the spec on google or Mitchell or whatever shop program you guys use for specifications look up

That PO340 is a circuit code meaning it may have a wire loose check the plug connector make sure the pins haven’t slid out The socket , you may have to trace the wire harness from the cam sensor back to the computer. But definitely focus on the cam sensor that’s the problem right now, there is only one crankshaft positioning sensor on that vehicle

I don't understand why you settled on fuel pump?

I probably should have filmed it running after I replace the fuel pump i’m going to start doing that with my diagnostic videos. The test that I performed that day all pointed to the fuel pump needed to be replaced

That code indicates a week or dead battery make sure you have 100% charged battery and try again if it still doesn’t start you may have another issue. Follow my steps in diagnosing the problem and you will be good

Ok thanks . I’m thinking it’s the alternator. It’s just turning over like in video but never starts or sometimes it won’t even doing anything in crank position it turns the radio off while trying to turn over to crank

@@Boomland64 you can only test the alternator once the vehicle is running but if you think it’s the alternator you can always remove it and take it to AutoZone and they will test it for free. An alternator will never cause a vehicle to not start you literally can remove an alternator and the vehicle will start and run until the battery goes dead, let me rephrase that a little bit a normal functioning alternator that spins freely a locked up alternator may cause the engine not to turn over
