SOURCE: I have a 2004 Dodge Intrepid ---- It is showing 3 Error Codes

ok means that you dont have spark plug explotion on 1 or more cylinders and that means miss fire.

Disconnect the battery like 20 or 30 min and then connect the battery again and start the car, then drive and scan again, if you have same code you can do this:


1. take off your O2 sensor and test check if there is wrong change it because maybe that is the problem of all!

2. take off your spark plugs and put new ones.

if not work... do this.


reset your ecu (like I say before)
take your ignition coil #6 and change the place with another one on the same head side.

assambly and go to test if the DTC change like hummm example: Ignition coil #4 then or any other, then you know that the problem is your ignition coil.

if not work this... do this..

take off your ignition coil from the spark plug but still plug to the harnes (the ignition that is failing) and then take the ignition coil closer to Ground (another metal) and then start the car you need to see how the elctricity (not know how to say) "energy" jumps from the coil to the graund many times

if not are any energy jump you need to do this...

check the harnes like maybe that is the problem the question here is do you have voltage in the harness?

hope this help you.

SOURCE: 92 dodge dakota (2wd V8) will not start

sounds like the distributor may be faulty and the timing is out.try moving the distributor.loosen off the lock bolt on the base and move it slightly.mark the original spot first.The other thing is make sure the plugs are the right type.platinum plkugs will not run in some engines.
the spark gap for the 5.2 is on the label under the hood.

SOURCE: 1997 Dodge Intrepid cranks over won't fire

I have this same NO START problem...
Began with tach giving readings not exceding 1200 rpm with strange 4000 + spikes.. Cruse control would not turn on or off at times and indicator light would only work sometimes..Had several episodes of excessive cranking to get it to start.. Stalling out while driving and even at freeway speeds.. Pulling the negative cable for 10 min. allowed it to start although with lots of cranking and put it in limp mode which required another computer reset to get out of.. Had thrown error codes related to cam and crank sensors which were replaced along with coil and manifold temp sensors.. Had the 9 volt power to sensors when key was on but the check engine light does not stay on with all the other idiot lights..
I wish people who respond would read the post first..
Original post states,
Cranks,No spark,No fuel pump run, changed some sensors ect...
If it cranks it ain't the neutral safety switch, starter or battery!! WAKE UP!!
Seems the computer is not turning on the coil, injectors or fuel pump for a reason.. Find that reason and you will find the solution to the problem.. Seeing as that the computers logic states are a dealer secrete the poster as I have changed many parts in blind hope that it will fix the problem.. Relays, sensors and ecu computer.. Did a visual check of all harness potential wear spots like where it crosses over the power rack..
Could it be in the wiring harness inside the dash??
Could it be a bad ground??
Can an alternator that has failed cause the computer not to start??
Can a bad oil pressure sensor cause the computer not to start??
Can signal loss from the TCU or BCU to the ECU cause this??
Is there an undocumented kill if the ECU thinks it was in an accident??
I can ground the relay line from the ECU and the fuel pump runs and pressures up and the other relays turn on as well..
This crank but no start problem seems to be common with a lot of 1994-2001 Dodge and Chrysler owners.. All these systems have become interlaced with undocumented safety features that baffle the DIYer..If you have seen this and have fixed it PLEASE RESPOND!!!!

Voltage regulator gets extremely hot, replaced it with new one,,same problem

caused by too much current, there's another fault on the bike.... maybe a short circuit somewhere.
a simple cheap multi-tester in Amps mode should find that no problem (if you have one and know how... if you don't, pay someone, the last thing you need is an electrical fire while pelting down the motorway on a 2 wheeled incendiary device.)
i honestly hope you get this fixed and it's not the end of days for this gorgeous beast.

1986 dodge 3/4 ton, 3.7 slant six. no fire to plugs.ignition on no blinkers or gagues, still turns over.hot to alt and coil still no fire. fuses good

Sounds like fusible link. It's a thick (thicker than normal) wire coming from battery to junction block on firewall. They burn through and/or break down internally - you can replace it with an inline 30amp fuse & holder.

2002 kia Rio Altenator not chargeing ( alt light not showing discharge ) Changed alt, Check out put with volt meter still putting out only 12.2 should be 13.8 Alt checked out OK on bench...

Hi, the actual output voltage produced by the alternator will vary depending on temperature and load, but will typically be about 1-1/2 to 2 volts higher than battery voltage. At idle, most charging systems will produce 13.8 to 15.3 volts with no lights or accessories on. This can be measured by connecting the positive (+) and negative (-) test leads of a voltmeter to the battery posts while the engine is running.

Possible cause of the alternator not charging includes Slipping or broken alternator belt, Open diode, Open circuit in stator windings, Open charging circuit, Open field circuit, Worn brushes or slip ring and Defective voltage regulator..

My alternator caught on fire through what i think is my voltage regulator it is a 1990 ford bronco inline 6 300 where should i start looking for the problem also the connector goin into the alt. is ashes...

Yes,alwaways replace fire damaged componants. Now, I really don't think the fire was caused by the regulator. When an alternater works at maximum output for an extended period, it overheats and overheats enough to melts soldered connections. Better known as slinging solder. When this happens loose connections go where they shouldn't and a short is created which in turn heats and melts the winding lamination which is what actuall catches fire.Once you replace the Alt. the impportant thing is to find out why yhe old one got so hot. Make sure the charging rate is between 13.6 and 14.2v. Anything less than 23 volts will cause an heating up. This is because the Alt is very, very near full output. Make sure all grounds are good and the battery fluid is at rec, level. Good Luck, Ned

My alternator is burning up on a 2.9 6 cyl, literaly smoking, it is a 75 amp alternator, could i have a short that would cause this, or could i be using an alternator with to many amps?

voltage regulator is not cutting in ,it is most likly an internal regulator but there is nothing you,personaly can do about it except not drive like that ,it needs the attention of an auto electrician quick smart.if you have to drive anydistance remove the alt belt.it may already be too late to save the alternator but at least that way you wont have a fire

The alternator isn't charging the battery

try this add an extra braided ground strap
i assuming you have all ready tested the out put of new alternator?? NEW doesn't mean it works .
assuming you done filed and diide continuity
checked and the polarity of alt,bat and regulator are all the same you added extra ground strap from block to fire wall. battery checks out. still no charge.get a new battery with more cold cranking amps.

My alternator on my 86 econoline rv is putting out 45+ volts. Is that possible? Is the alternator fried or wired wrong?

DO NOT run it for long you will burn something up....most likely the ALT. REGULATOR is stuck, advise a new alt and retest....normal out-put is 12.5V>14.0V...15>25A with everything else good....I have never seen 45+V but it's possible with a shorted regulator ....hope this helps you...GL
