Weird Problem of my 92 chrysler lebaron

Nov 22, 2003 2 Replies

Weird problem for me, but it won't be a big problem for big-shots here :-)



My lebaron is a very shabby old car I drive it slowly(30-40 mph) in local streets. when i'm turning (i reduce the speed further), all the LED lights (engine, brake, safe belts) are just turned on, and the engine seems stopped, and the wheel feels fixed, i can't turn the wheel.



I have to pull the stick to "P", and turn the key back off and turn on the engine again.



What is the possible problem? Thank you very much, I am a college student, who can't afford to change a car now.


Sounds like a classic case of engine stalling.

The first thing to do is to check for diagnostic flash codes.

To check the computer codes:

With the engine off, switch the ignition key on-off-on-off-on, leaving it "ON". Do not go to "start", just "on" during this procedure.

Watch the "Check Engine" or "Power Loss" light. It will turn on, then go off, then will begin to flash-out any trouble codes that have been stored. For instance, if it flashes:

flash flash flash

flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash

flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash flash

Then you have a 12 (one flash followed by two) a 35 (three and five) and a

55 (five and five). 55 means "end of codes" or, if by itself, "No codes stored. Check the codes and report what you find.
