car starts runs 5-10 seconds

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by terry l demerchant, May 9, 2005.

  1. I have a 1993 chrysler new yorker that I ran the battery down and the theft
    prevention operated, I followed the manflurers instruction to shut the alarm
    of, and jump start the car. It now starts and runs for 5-10 seconds then
    shuts off.(no trouble codes show on the computer) It will rlun a little
    longer if I pumpp the accelerator, sas if it is not getting fuel through the
    injectors-any suggestions/thanks

    More then likely the problem you are having is both door ARM/DISARM switches
    are bad. This will cause the system to not be able to disarm itself. You
    would have to have someone with a scan tool be able to monitor the theft
    system inputs and outputs to see if those switches are working.
    They are located on the inside door, mounted on the key cylinders.

    Sounds to me like he needs a throttle body cleaning if he can make it run
    longer by pumping the gas pedal,PCM loses the memory after battery
    replacement type situation,watcha think Mr. Beasley

    Sure, if he can keep it running with the throttle blade cracked open, But
    when the OP states the theft prevention operated, that tells me that his
    security lite is on and killing the engine.
    I have seen this alot, people don't use there security system any more and
    when the battery craps out, they try to disarm it, it doesn't work cause the
    switches are no good...time will tell if the OP resubmits

    I just had one(Grand Cherokee) yesterday that the throttle body was very
    dirty and it wouldn't stay running after the battery was replaced and we
    cleaned the throttle body out in the parking lot and it started fine.
    but you are correct I have seen both situations.
