have a 95 chryler new yorker. 3.5 motor. will not start. i've replaced the alternater,and coil ignition. the fuel cell in tank is working, can here it when key is turned to the "on" position. I've checked the fuel fuses.i took out a couple of spark plugs one at a time and tried to ground them to get a spark and no spark. i know this is old school but don't have the proper tools. car is turning over great, but won't start

Re: won't start Sign In

Sound like the typical Chrysler / jeep problem,
Cam / Crank sensors could be bad.
if your car has a RPM counter, crank engine
and check that the needle moves to at least 250 RPM
if it does not move you have a cam sensor problem .
try and get the codes read ,not sure on you model but if you open
and close the ign switch 3 times your MIL /check engine light will start to flash
on off on off on off then on then read the flashing light long flash are your tenths and a short flash is
your singles - - - / . . . = 33. - - / . . . . = 24
if your car is end of 95 this is not possible then you have the OBD II system .
you will need a code reader .

Re: won't start Sign In

just took off the cam sencor
did the test and it was 8.8
decided to take the cam sensor out to clean(don't know why) I looked down at one of the timing gears.
I decided to mark the what I can see of the gear with a majic marker and turn the engine over a few times
when I looked down in the sensor hole I can see that the gear did not move at all. I did it 3 times and the gear didn't move.
Is it now the timing belt????????

Re: won't start Sign In

going to pull the cover off alittle and see if i can see anything.
going to return the coil ignition also
thank you for your help
i'll keep in touch
good thing on this car is the front is all open, timing belt should be a piece of cake as long as i line everything up.
are you a professional indy car tech, and what team if you are?

went out and took cover off.
I can't believe what I saw.
The timing belt looked loose so I thought it was broke.....NOT
the adjustment pully is broken
the bolts on the bottom of the car ,one broke off with a piece still in there,the other missing
what a prodject this is turning out to be
gave up for today
tomorrow I'll take a good look and see what damage is done
don't think I've ever heard of this one

Re: won't start Sign In

Sorry to here this, Not sure if this is a interference or free running engine
which means if its a free running, there will be no internal damage ,if it isn't then you most probably have bent valve, inner motor damage which could cost a fortune .
this is one thing i try to tell my customer to do every 50.000 miles is to change
there timing belt and tensioner with idle pulley and seals.
Good luck on this one my friend ......Indy Tech.
