Diagnosing Another Dodge Charger - Turns Over But WON'T START  

Hey my is TJ are you in the ATL ga area

My pleasure buddy

My pleasure

What do you think the problem could be?I checked spark ,fuel and.getting both it just cranks but no start.It sounds as if it wants to turn over and it partially does ever so often that's about it.

Thanks buddy

Hey there is the check engine light on? It sounds like you you have a bad crankshaft sensor

Hey brother. You have two options,get a different auto locksmith to make you another key, second remove the security system with a a program named hp tuner. What is your engine size

Thanks brother

I have same issue! Were you able to fix it?

Thanks buddy. You may have a bad crank sensor, you will need a good scanner so you can check your crank sensor

Thanks i appreciate that I changed that bout a couple months ago u might be right

@@johnathanmack2371 depending on where you got the sensor it may be defective i come across that a lot

AutoZone lol 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

@@johnathanmack2371 dang

Check your timing belt

It’s a 2008 dodge charger 2.7 Liter. I tried unplugging the camshaft sensor as shown in one of your videos, and it’s still doesn’t start. It definitely cranks, but won’t start

Really hard to say without seeing it

@@AlexTheCarDoctor yea I know but thanks to your videos I can have a idea what the problem can be . Thanks

I have a similar problem by any chance did you find out what was wrong with it?

Bad battery! Idk if you got it fixed or not but take it to autozone and they’ll test the battery. You ever notice battery acid on that battery?

If it start good when is cold I guess the battery is good but when it's get a little hot it won't start again it has to be some sensor that it's overhearing you need a diagnostic to check for a code

Hey ! My car is doing the same thing right now , were you able to find out what it is? I’ve tried everything and have took my car to like 3 mechanics and they don’t know what it’s causing not to start . Hope to hear from you soon .

Sounds like an atiinator problem

What’s the year make and model of the car and what relay are you testing

@@AlexTheCarDoctor it's a 2010 Dodge Charger.

Hey buddy was the check engine light on prior to it not running if so get the check engine light code pulled and give it to him

Regular Gas is what’s recommended for that car, premium gas will not benefit your engine so you’re better off sticking with the recommended regular unleaded.

Hey there have you check the starter also get a scanner and see if you have codes

We have checked the starter, mechanic has me to turn the car in the on position and he went underneath the car and did something to see if the starter was good and it tried cranking instantly that way

Anything else I should check for

@@Zay7_mopar starter relay that’s the next part you guys need to check.I will just replace it they’re very cheap, you can Google starter relay for your specific car and it should pull up the diagram on the fuse panel

Does it have a check engine light on

@@AlexTheCarDoctor yes Put In New fuel pump and sending unit It started right up ran for about 3 min then stopped The code went to P0335 Replaced,,,,,Crankshaft sensor Long Crank no start No codes coming up at all now This car has had this issue off and on For 3 years,,,certified mechanics have worked on this issue, tired of paying them,,,New computer x 2 have been put in,,,,the second computer has been in the car for about 1.5 years This car purrs like kitten its so quiet Hardly uses oil Have slight Transmission leak Miles ,,,,234567 I'm starting to think its my Tippa ? or wiring,,,,thinking about new computer again,,,Supposedly a great place in North Carolina that does computers,,,the last two came from Flagship I used to be a mechanic in a big factory On big machinery I'm retired now,, Its Greatly appreciated for you to answer My commit Also I found out that Dodge has lifetime warranty on the 19 gallon fuel tanks,,,something about one of the sensors gets hung up or something,,,this isn't a National Re-call for some reason,,some guy on RU-vid was showing the letter you need to download to have it replaced by the dealer THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL ESPECIALLY ON THE 2.7,, Thanks again Alex 👍👍🍻🍻

You got it buddy.As soon as I get something in the shop with a problem of that nature

I diagnose cars and have to analyze fuel trims on the regular

@@AlexTheCarDoctor Perfect that sounds very good brother i'll be waiting and looking forward to that video also if your able to try to explain it very simple to where a kid can grasp it and understand it very well. Thank you i really appreciate you!

Thanks for the support. If I remember correctly yes same side under seat, you have 2 a transfer pump and fuel pump basically a left and right. Check that fuel pump relay if no voltage is at the pump

Hey there I’m located at 1850 Joy Lake road 30260 .it will be my pleasure to take care of your problem

So your in Georgia

Hey there let’s start off with the engine size and the reason he was messing with it

My pleasure thanks for watching

Hey there sorry to hear you are having car problems.can you send me a picture of the light on Instagram

Hey there sorry to hear that.my advise is to call an auto lock smith and make sure he can program dodge keys. You most likely have a faulty key

I’m having this same problem and the negative battery cable in the trunk keeps heating up

What was the problem

Could be throttle piston senior will do that do that first it's in frt of motor my 5.7 is in frt by water pump.

I almost. Believe that is your problem ok

Every 100,000 miles is recommended.

Hello and sorry to hear about your problem.I will do my best to assist,could you DM on Instagram along with a video of you trying to start it

Lol nevermind

Hey there buddy, you can perform a compression check on the engine that would give you a general idea. Also, you can look me up on Instagram and send me a video of it turning over/you trying to crank it and I can hear if it’s out of time or not.

Thanks brother

Thanks so much for watching! Im working on getting more subs. One video at a time.

Hey there sorry to hear you having problems, do you have a scanner and if so what codes are you getting

Hey there did it get better or worse after you replaced the fuel pump. Are there any check engine lights on

I mean did you check it for any codes

What is that?

Thanks buddy

Also I failed to mention that It’s an retired Cop Car 👮 👮‍♂️

Hello. What type of engine do you have

@@AlexTheCarDoctor 08 Chrysler 300

What engine do you have. To start off good battery and a scanner if any thing is chewed up the scanner will point you in the right direction for example code display #2 injector Circuit low, means there is a damage wire

@@AlexTheCarDoctor It's a V-6,Thanks for the info,will get started today

3.5 or 2.7

No I don’t, I have seen many mechanics set the engine bay on fire and also burn themselves using starter for it to start cars.what normally happens when things go sideways the car will back fire through the intake.

Thank you good to know (:

Hey there first check the battery and connection make sure the battery is fully charged also check all of your fuses that’s a good start

What I’m basically seeing is misfire codes and ECM low-voltage codes you may have a wiring issue,depending on your engine size.I have seen corrosion buildup at the computer/ECM.I had a similar issue on a charger with the 5.7 Hemi. The computer is located underneath the crawl,basically the little plastic cover between the hood and the windshield check for corrosion at the computer but before you do that make sure that the battery and charging system is good. Tip anytime you’re working with the electric system make sure the battery is unplugged especially if you unplug the computer that’s a good way to fry your ECM

Damnnn 10 codes my boi😅

V 6 3,5

Hey there do you have a scanner

@@AlexTheCarDoctor other thing is the radio and speakers are not included. Same goes with stock amplifier. I needs help finding these items for a great low price. P.s no scanner tool.

@@bluefeatherlopez7 eBay and Amazon is your best bet dealing with the radio and speakers I’m not too much of an audio guy so I won’t be able to help much there. every car owner in my opinion should have a scanner they’re like 40 bucks on Amazon here’s the link www.amazon.com/dp/B007XE8C74/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_PDPW5EZB0B71Y6YPW2RS?linkCode=ml2&tag=alexthecard05-20

Not really vacuum leaks will cause higher idle engine may stall or run rough.some symptoms of a bad cat are loss of power, bad mpg,engine misfires, exhaust noise . Both will throw a check engine light

@@AlexTheCarDoctor if the leak was so large ,it would run bad ,if it did run,high idle will not play a factor wich could give bad cat symptoms but remember that alot of things are in symptoms.vacum leaks can cause cats to go bad due unburnt gas.mabey thats what he means.you guys are great keep the good work and thank you.

Mine is makin the same noise that happens at the start of the video but it cut on for like a few mins then dies..what would that be from

It won’t hurt, my preferred brand is Seafoam

@@AlexTheCarDoctor Thx

Hey buddy I’m located, 1850 Joy Lake road 30260

Hello it means the fuel pump is priming the fuel system for quick start, it’s sort of like a old school how you have to pump the gas pedal right before starting

@@AlexTheCarDoctor ok cool then so I figure it got to be the starter relay fuse, that could be the only logical issue

@@cuzdeep10tw so the car is not turning over

@@AlexTheCarDoctor yeah it’s not, the lights and whatnot is on, but won’t crank

Hey buddy, thanks for watching,hit me up on Instagram. That way I can help you a lot better. You also can send me video of the vehicle turning over so I can listen to it.

@@AlexTheCarDoctor okay!! Great!! What's your instagram? I'll be happy to send you a video of what's going on!!

@@user-co2ke4gp7c it’s the same as my RU-vid

Can I send a video as well. This here is frustrating.

Can you send me a video on Instagram of you trying to start it

@@AlexTheCarDoctor yes sir what’s your name on Instagram

Any check engine light codes?

Hey there give my shop a call 4704350015

Have you check the thing’s that I checked in my video

That code indicates a week or dead battery make sure you have 100% charged battery and try again if it still doesn’t start you may have another issue. Follow my steps in diagnosing the problem and you will be good

Ok thanks . I’m thinking it’s the alternator. It’s just turning over like in video but never starts or sometimes it won’t even doing anything in crank position it turns the radio off while trying to turn over to crank

@@BC_nopowder you can only test the alternator once the vehicle is running but if you think it’s the alternator you can always remove it and take it to AutoZone and they will test it for free. An alternator will never cause a vehicle to not start you literally can remove an alternator and the vehicle will start and run until the battery goes dead, let me rephrase that a little bit a normal functioning alternator that spins freely a locked up alternator may cause the engine not to turn over

Hey there This is my address 1850 Joy Lake road 30260

Hey there buddy sorry to hear you are having problems with your car. I will try to help first what engine do you have

@@AlexTheCarDoctor 3.5 v6

Do you see/Here the radiator fans coming on

@@AlexTheCarDoctor yes they are coming on

Did you perform a block Test? That Test will ensure you don’t have a blown head gasket

Hey buddy sorry to hear the bad news. Follow my test process in the video. What engine do you have

@@AlexTheCarDoctor i have a v6 engine 3.5

Can you look me up on Instagram and send me a video of it cranking over

Can I write you? I have a dodge avenger rt 2013 replaced alternator spark plugs and coil packs still won't start cranks but goes right back off.... Any suggestions? @Alex, the car doctor?

Hey there, do you have a scanner if so what’s the code

@@AlexTheCarDoctor no scanner but i called a scanner guy still waiting on him 4 days later but i do see the red lighting bolt on the dash

@@fire4139 keep me updated on what codes you get.I recommend you buy your own scanner, you need one as a car owner and you don’t have to pay a arm and a leg they are 40$ on Amazon, do you want me to send you the link for the one I recommend

Code came up P2115 did some reprogramming and it worked it great 👍

New problem my oil is mixing with the radiator fluid but not in the engine I changed the intercooler 🤔 but the oil and coolant is still mixing

You may have a bad fuel pump do you have the ability to run a diagnostic on it yourself and tools

What engine you have?

@@AlexTheCarDoctor v 6

@@AlexTheCarDoctor 3.5 l

Yes that works! But too risky for me as a shop owner or to suggest to the average Joe. I’ve seen many fires start that way.

Hey buddy. Let’s start with what’s the eng size. You need a scanner that reads your engine data, make sure the car is reading 150 to 200 rpm’s while cranking over the engine that will tell you if the crank shaft position sensor is good, a bad one 0 or erratic next make sure the timing belt/chain is rotating the cams, a cylinder compression test is a good way to tell if the engine is in time or not. You can find the the spec on google or Mitchell or whatever shop program you guys use for specifications look up

@@AlexTheCarDoctor 2008 2.7 . i thought it was the crankshaft sensor on the housing but now it still didnt start and its pulling a P0340 sir. any advice on my next moves would be appreciated.

change the camshaft one on the front of the motor? i haven't located it but people are telling me there is another crank sensor under the exhaust manifold. cant seem to find much on google to help me

That PO340 is a circuit code meaning it may have a wire loose check the plug connector make sure the pins haven’t slid out The socket , you may have to trace the wire harness from the cam sensor back to the computer. But definitely focus on the cam sensor that’s the problem right now, there is only one crankshaft positioning sensor on that vehicle

@@AlexTheCarDoctor God bless you sir thank you so much. I will follow the harness and verify everything is seated properly and also that the pins are in the proper place. Have a good day today 🤙
