Whats wrong..? My car runs only on 5 cylinders. During a check-up it showed that cylinder 5 doesn't get any gas. I have checked the thing that gets the gas into the cylinders by switching place on them. I have mesured that all the cables are whole, even the dead earth. I have switched the controller box with an exactly the same numberwise, and still cylinder 5 doesn't get any fuel. By starting all the 6 cylinders get gas at the same time but then it starts to go round between the cylinders but skips cylinder 5. My car is a Chrysler Stratus cabriolet -97

well if it won't start it won't start...because your engine has lost 1 of 3 things that make it run: gas, spark, and compression. Don't tie yourself into knots over what it could be. Do the basics first. 1.Check that the engine is getting gas into the cylinders.
2.Check that the spark plugs in the cylinders are getting ignition current to make blue snapping sparks when tested.
3.If you have both spark and gas to all cylinders, you should do a compression test of the cylinders to know there is enough compression in the cylinders to make it run. Without good compression readings from all cylinders, no amount of money thrown at it will make the engine run better, you have to do mechanical repairs to the engine that restores compression first.

Most times, sudden no starts are gas or spark related. Check those first. Happy Holidays.

Check these three things in the misfiring cylinder: spark, gas, and compression. One of them is wrong or missing. For spark check the spark plug and wire. Make sure you have spark on the plug wire, a strong blue spark. For gas, the fuel/air mixture may be wrong. Does the fuel injector pulse, putting gas into the cylinder? Possibly you may have a leaking injector or a clogged injector.

If gas and spark seem okay, you need to check compression in the cylinder. Low compression will cause a misfire. If compression is 20 or 25% lower than adjacent cylinders, that could be causing a misfire. For example, say numbers 1 and 3 cylinders had about 150 psi compression. 80% of 150 = 120, so if cylinder 2 is 120psi or less, that could be setting the misfire code. Low compression can be caused by valves not seating well, or bad piston rings, bad head gasket- something in the combustion area of the cylinder is losing compression.

Check fire on the coil for that cylinder. Sounds like a bad coil pack. That was just one of the things wrong with mine.

No Engine I know of has a 1,2,3,4, fitting I am sure you have the firing order connected wrong, plus your description point to the firing order as well. Cheers, Malcolm Campbell.

I would start by checking the bleeder valve on the fuel rail to make sure its getting gas and has good pressure.

iginition coil needs to be replaced. By for about 150 to 200, and take the Northstar cover off and replace. Very easy fix. Car will then run like a jet engine.

Check fuel injector and compression in cyl. #5.

try reseting the alarm,maybe all thats needed.....

Does sound like you need a new master cylinder. On a 2000 you wont need to back bleed. You will just need to follow the instruction and bleed the master and all four points. you will probably need to bleed the ABS block and proportioning valve but only if they have bleeders on them.

im working on one now. customers car was running and it just shut off on freeway. I diagnost it , it crank over and power was there , had a spark to plug. i took off the 8mm bolt and looked at the engine cams inside and no movement was there during cranking. taking out is a lil tricky.. im a lil hesitated on putting the new belt on .. cause i have no specs yet.
