Chrysler 300C crank no start girlfriend issue

[JavierH19]

I ain't fixing that lost cause compadre. No señor llama el yonke.

All kidding aside, thanks for helping her. Do either of you have access to a basic code reader? I'd lean toward checking the cam/crank position sensors. Can you hear the fuel pump running? Fuel pressure check?Compression test?

The parts cannon does nothing but cost unnecessary money and aggravation. Strategy based diagnostics is a must and a good scan tool as well. With that being said, one quick check she can do on that 300C is look at the tach when cranking the car....if the needle doesn't move the crank sensor is bad. In addition doing a compression check is in order as well as it may have been abused enough to be a blown head gasket.

Did it jump time? Maybe a throttle position sensor or clogged fuel filter. Throwing parts at something can get expensive.

It was the ground to the fuel pump bad wiring harness finally fixed yaaah yaaah

Hopefully not much money was spent in purchasing this car…

You know how it works. A year from now someone will revive the thread to tell you how to fix it. We're all just trying to help in this strange world.

My vote? You have a girlfriend issue.

We can’t help you with that.

Reminds me of, "You don't have a drug problem -- you have a problem getting drugs."

In all seriousness, can we convince said gf to buy a bidirectional (side note: be careful what "bi" things you suggest) scanner and start doing some real troubleshooting and component activation? I mean, a fuel pump could be ruled out pretty easily with tools that probably cost the same as THREE fuel pumps.....??

What @D60 says. How on earth can you keep a BMW running without a proper scanner to read codes and do resets or adaptations? Chrysler, GM, Asian too - you really do need to be able to read what's going and do some interactive processes.

I’m still trying to figure out if we are troubleshooting the car, the girlfriend, or the PANBUS, person-area-network.

Lucky me my wife says I'm the fixer and she's the cooker. She points, I fix. When she cooks I don't interfere either.

My girlfriend bought a abused 2007 300C. It will crank and it won't start. So far she has bought a throttle body a ECU a fuel pump relay and a total of three fuel pumps. She does know how to operate a multi meter. I am waiting for her to get tired so I can tow it to Javier my mechanic. I would help her but I lost a hand at work so I am useless. How do I convince her to give up? before she spends more money on parts. Help guys

When it comes to women you are better off just agreeing with them. If not when it's all said and done the car not running in the first place will end up being your fault.
