'86 Dodge 600 Convertible

go back to the basic's. compression test and check to make sure the timing belt is timed right. if all checks good have someone that has a good scan tool check all inputs and outs of the sensor values.

Wow! that's an old one. I didn't think that the 2.5 was offered until later on. I had always thought that only the 2.2 and 2.6 engines were offered for that year, and those were both with carburators.

I had a 2.6, and could never get the carburator adjusted right. The choke also had problems during the winter.

My 2.5 Ltr. is from Arizona originally, built in Sept. of '86 according to the door plate. It runs the same no matter if it's summer or winter. Always starts but sometimes floods right away from a cold start (revs upon starting sometimes as well)and I have to give it a litlle time to settle or play with the gas. I did read on a site that there was a recal for this year of 600 regarding a problem with the fuel injector system but I notice in the service records that came with the car when I bought it that the work had been done, albeit at a Midas Muffler Shop in Campbell River...Compression test was good and timing belt was timed just fine, I was told by the mechanic that last worked on it. What is the correct way to time it, is there a trick I should try? The mechanic was working on two different vehicles at once and I wonder if he is a good multitasker or if he maybe forgot a step. Is that possible?
