I don't think it has a carb. You have a head gasket problem, imo. You should see your wrench ( mechanic)
For repair.

SOURCE: how do I change the

I did a Google search "How do you replace the rear spark plugs on a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus?" and found this link: http://www.faqs.org/qa/qa-6243.html

I haven't tried it yet and am thinking of purchasing a Chilton manual just in case, but as far as explanations go the one at the very bottom of the page in the link sounds the most legitimate so far.

Besides, I have to pay you guys $9.99 for one answer that I can get for free; or I can get the Chilton and have a whole heap of answers for around $20.

Check the coil packs, or the Ignition module. Disconnect the harness to the ignition module. And test the leads to see if there is current. I don't know what the specs should be, but it will be minimal. Never overlook fuses either.

SOURCE: car dies suddenly while driving all speeds

Hi krh60, I would strongly recommend having the cps (cam positioning sensor) and the css (crank shaft sensor) checked immediately, both can cause your problem and both throw no codes when running, in early stages the vehicle may start again or it may not. Ford also has a cps problem on their 7.3's also see if Chrysler has a recall on these parts you may get lucky hope this helps good luck to you.

The coolant drain plug is located on the bottom left side of the radiator when looking from front of car. To access it you must remove the passenger side fog light and push the rubber cover out of the way.

I have a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus. Check engine light came on and it has been just losing power.

Yes, the misses are cutting your power in half. The cylinders in the back half of the engine are not firing. The problem must be diagnosed to estimate repair costs. Possible causes are
1. Injector wiring harness cut or disconnected.
2. Major intake manifold gasket leak.
3. Camshaft slipped timing.

I have listed these in order of cost to repair, so have someone check for these conditions in the order above.

1999 Cirrus battery loses charge when car sets.

Here is a neat trick for that problem (my 1999 Cirrus drain issue could not be solved) Disconnect the negative cable for a minimum of 5 seconds, then reattach it. Doing this before you go to bed insures a charged battery in the morning. It is when the engine is turned over that the battery drain begins again (probably the anti-lock brake motor) Try not to perform this too often, as it will mess with the oxygen sensors over time, which reset their data from the power disconnect. Oxygen sensors in this car gather their needed data from about 40 miles of regular driving, and it is recommended to drive the car often to engage these sensors occasionally. The car might drive slightly rougher after the battery disconnect because these sensors are not fully activated. They determine crucial fuel / oxygen ratios to deliver to the engine and its components...

1999 chrysler cirrus engine is smoking

i would start with washing the engine down with a degreaser the smoke could be old oil burning off then if you still have a burning smell you will know its fresh you can get a dye from a parts store and with a black light you can trace the leak
