If the check engine lite was
going off and on as you were driving it, that indicates a cylinder misfire( IS THIS TRUE LITTLE BOY CUDA??
Might be true, but I wasn't there to see it.
But a misfire indication does not automatically point to any of the components that you would have shotgunned onto that car.
You say it was pinging, that may be a faulty crank or cam sensor causing that and the misfire at the same time(((.NOTICE THE WORD "MAY" LITTLE BOY? ))
I don't recall ever claiming that the engine was pinging, how would I know if it was pinging such that I could/would make such a claim?
I would have the PCM scanned for all fault codes.
Okay, what is the fault code for the right side camshaft being out of synch with the crankshaft?
With that many miles on the vehicle......and if they were never replaced.......I would replace both cam and crank sensors even if the codes are not related( OK FOR THE LAME AGAIN))) SEE WHERE IT SAYS IF THEY WERE NEVER REPLACED I WOULD REPLACE THEM EVEN IF IT ISNT RELATED TO THE PROBLEM?? sorta like a maintenance thing, remember when we replaced the condensor and points on vehicles for maintenance to prevent break downs on the road, well once again, for the lame, thats why I said that, but then again, you may not be old enough to remember those vehicles
I've looked and looked at the maintenance schedule for a 96 Lh car with 3.5 litter engine, I don't see any recommendation from the factory for periodic replacement of either the cam position sensor -or- the crankshaft position sensor. So tell us, after you've spent a bunch of the customers money and the damn thing still doesn't run, what excuses do you give the customer for failing to complete the requested task? You're a parts changer. A week ago you were bragging about the labscope functions that your pretty little DRB3 has, yet you still haven't made mention of using it -before- replacing known good parts with someone else's money.
When was the last time this car had plugs and wires installed?. AND THE LAST QUESTION TO NARROW IT DOWN WAS NEVER ANSWERED LITTLE BOY
The problem was pretty much narrowed down when the OP described that there was a VACUUM on the right side exhaust pipe. Do explain for us how that can happen because of a bad spark plug, bad plug wire, bad crank sensor, bad cam sensor or anything else besides incorrect cam timing.
All you managed to come up with was to throw some un-needed parts at the problem?? WHERE? THE QUESTIONS WERE NEVER ANSWERED THREATENED LITTLE BOY?
YOU totally blew the clues jackass.
.
I didn't post that "everyone" was wrong, just you hotshot. Not "all" the posts, just yours hotshot.( AND ONCE AGAIN THREATENED BY THE DEALER TECHNICIANS) what a tough life you live, WHATS THE MATTER THE WIFE ISNT GOING TO GIVE YOU THE ARGUMENT SO YOU HAVE TO GET IT IN HERE, LIKE I SAID YOU CAN GET HELP FOR THIS PROBLEM OF YOURS
I should feel threatened by a bunch of parts changers that can't put two and two together? Har!
You're a joke.
Things are a little different when Chrysler isn't paying the bills and you actually have to perform in order to receive a paycheck. You'd starve outside the dealership once a person with a brain started questioning the reasons for you replacing parts needlessly.
IOWs, go tell it to your "I can't wait to get off this crappy job" zone rep.
