Chrysler Repair - '96 Chrysler 3.3L: no spark


Expert: Roland Finston - 7/6/2009

Question
Can you please tell me what I can do to fix my 96 Town and country 3.3 van It does not have spark at all I replaced coil pack,wires,
crank sensor on tranny bell housing and still the same no spark.

Answer
Hi Alen,
Check fuse #17 in the power distribution box under the hood. Then do the fault code readout using the ignition key:"on-off-on-off-on and leave on" doing that is 5 seconds or less elapsed time. Then watch the check engine light which remains 'on' to begin to see it flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause. Then repeat to assure an accurate set of flash counts. Then combine the counts into pairs in the order of appearance to form the 2-digit fault codes. You will always end with a 55, the code for "end of readout". But before that will be relevant codes about your problem. a 54 code means the cam sensor is bad. An 11 code would be the crank sensor. Maybe before you do the codes it would be wise to disconnect the battery for a minute to erase all the 'stale' codes. Then try to start the engine again so the controller will note any 'fresh' codes. Then do the readout as described. Let me know if you get something new and relevant codes and we'll go from there.
Roland
