1995 Chrysler Cirrus with 2.5 L Engine Cuts Out

Nov 24, 2005 1 Replies
97,000 km, intermittent failure, engine cuts out but will restart immediately or within a short time. Fuel pump, filter and tank filler pipe replaced. No fault codes showing. Distributer replaced 1 yr ago, ignition interlock installed through recall (1 month ago). Local dealer nable to identify the problem.

Carry a spark plug with you.

When it cuts out and doesen't immediately restart, pull a plug boot and put it on the plug then lay that on the engine and try starting it, see if there is spark.

The crank position sensor can sometimes fail to where when it gets hot it's intermittent. Mine did in my '94. If there's no CPS signal you will get no spark.
