Hi Guys,

My 04 Crossfire coupe will fails to to start engine, I get crank with click click click click.... then eventually if I hold it for long enough it may start!

Edit: here is a video I recorded of the issue - note at 50 seconds the choke when accelerator applied

• I get mixed results when I am holding the brake pedal, it seems to cut power to the car when pushing brake and attempting to start the engine. (BAS/ESP light comes on)
• Also when turning on the lights I am not getting the click click click as much, instead in tends to flicker the dash and reds and will eventually struggle and may start up!
• The car will stall on me occasionally while driving (usually in the lower revs when coming to a stop)
• Sometimes after getting it started pushing on the accelerator hard and fast will sound like the engine is about to choke and die and the revs do not go up until 2-3 seconds delay. Inversely if i accelerate slow and gradually the revs go up fine and the engine does not sound like its going to choke.

My mechanic has pulled the following codes (prior to the no start, crank issue):

• P0221
• P0100 - could not clear
• P0410 - could not clear

I have not been able to go back for a reading of codes since the car started having the no start, cranking issue, so could have new codes!

I have tried the following with no help:

• Crankshaft Sensor (replaced it today with BOSCH part, old part was very dirty!)
• Camshaft Position Sensor (reseated it, but haven't purchased replacement yet?)
• RCM board re soldering (did it twice and looks VERY clean, relays are clean, RCM housing is clean)
• Car Battery (contacts are clean and strong! battery is only 2 years old and a good one)
• MAF Sensor (was replaced a year ago due to some error codes and issues with my car choking when driving, fixed it!)

Please help me guys I am very frustrated and need to fix my baby
