Default 2004 crossfire died once would not start twice

Have a 2004 crossfire, moter died on me driving about 40 mph. Everthing else worked. No check light, when tryed to start everything worked but moter starting. Coolent fan would run. Sent to dealer they poked at it next day it started, they said there were no codes. My wife try to start it two more times same thing happened. It seams to correct it self after a while. Can anybody help? When try to start no sounds at all, like low battery.

you know what i had the same problem as you did about a week ago. i was doing about 80 on the expressway and the car just died and would not start. so i pulled off to the side of the road and let it sit for a few and it started with no warning lights on or anything. it has never done it since then. i asked around and i was told that it could possibly be the battery. I have an 04 limited with 41k miles. how many are on yours.

If you have the original battery..... get it replaced... that may be the whole problem since you are not getting any codes.... this car gets weird on the electronics when the battery starts going.....

I second this. The dealer checked mine for free and said it was good to go. Wouldn't start occasionally, spoiler deployment overnight. (I just thought it was glad to see me in the morning!) and other weird stuff. New battery ($68) and no more issues.

Try the crankshaft position sensor. They appear to fail when warm and are OK when cooled, at least for a while. Check out the threads on this issue.

i hope thats not the original battery in your car. if so idk how it made it so long. i would try replacing the battery first since that will be the most cost effective and let us know your results.

I put a new battery in at a cost of $145.00 and waiting for sensor to come in to change it. What size socket do I need? Thanks guys for the help hope this takes care of the problem.
