I have a 2005 chrysler crossfire limited

I have checked the battery, cables, and ground.

The car will start sometimes and after driving a bit will loose power and wont start up again

It will keep cranking but NO START !

ANYONE HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE?

I have about 75k miles on it. I noticed some corrosion on the battery terminal (+0 and ate cable tips so I replaced them. But still no start just cranking?

 

Friendly advice here ..... search for "car does not start". 10 pages of why.

 

Or use the friendly version here.. LOL

A point I have been trying to make. 10 pages. 250 comments. Too much data is just as bad as too little. It's like looking for that needle in the hay stack. He needs the facts. Just the facts.

One would think that if this was such a well versed problem, the solution would only be a couple clicks away. Like in a "if it hasn't broken yet, it will soon" section. Or perhaps "parts and tools you don't leave town without." Might start it with Crankshaft Position Sensor and Relay solder.

 

A good place to start for any problem. Index of Crossfire problems and repairs.

Give you these:

How to replace CPS (PDF)

 

I repaired the RCM

And when I started it the 1st time it ran and then died

When I started a 2nd time I let it warm up for 30 mins then drive it about 15 miles

I'm still nervous about it dying the 1st time after the relay solder so I'm going to also replaace the crankshaft sensor next and try again

...

 

I would change the CPS. My 2004 Crossfire was dieing as well. I just changed the CPS and it is working great now. Best of luck to you.

 

Must be an epidemic. I went out this morning and it's just clicking. Won't even try to turn over. Luckily, I bought a Bosch CPS and tools a month ago. Gonna replace it tomorrow and cross my fingers.

 

The problem is caused by heat, so why let it warm up?

 

Doesn't sound like the CPS.. Battery connections good and clean? Volt meter to check voltage level?

 

The simple version....

If it cranks over and wont start..... CPS is bad (95%+ of the time anyway)

It is wont start and dosent crank over..... Relay Control Module (90%+ of the time anyway)

 

If its clicking then it is probably low voltage, bad battery connections at either end of the cables etc.
Even the starter.

 

You and MrMiata are right on point. Low voltage. Charging the battery now. What would cause it to drain that low? I drive it at least once every few weeks and the battery is only a year old.

 

Not saying it's your case here.. but semi retired the chevy truck, and put a cheap battery in it. If it's not ran once a week the battery goes dead with normal parasitic drain.

 

Well folk's i am back , have a 2004 crossfire that stopped running on me last december , it has been in a shop since ,,, repaired ,-relay control module bought and tried 4 bosch crank sensors, new cam sensor , new battery,new key and key fob, and just had ecm sent out for repair ,it was sent back was told no problems with it .SCANNED no codes it spins over will not start, i am getting fuel, and spark to coils but from coils to plugs no spark ,was told coils may be linked any hints would be very well appreciated

 

Glad I could help you out on this...

 

Hi, i bought my 05 roadster yesterday and it was having the same problem...i changed the crankshaft positioning sensor and it didnt solve the problem, then when i open the trunk i saw a little hole in the trunk, on the back of the seats, which had some kind of pump in it....it was wet probably due to rain(it is convertible). I dried the cables and the isolation with a hair dryer and the car is working perfect again, i hope it helps...

 

Man ! You are gonna fit in quite nicely around here, only second post and already giving helpful advise !
Enjoy the roadster, I know I do ......

 

Just spent a mindless week trying to fix my 2004 Crossfire and as mentioned several times on this thread the culprit was the CPS. The only thing I would add to the symptoms would be that the car would start cold but when it reached normal running temp it would crank but not start. Plus, when changing out the CPS be sure to get a magnetized TORX E8 socket or you will risk having the bolt drop into the world of no recovery.....

 

Or add tape to the socket after you break it loose for a snug fit during removal and install..
