I recently got a 97 Intrepid 3.3L with 131,000mi for 500.00, if I can get it to run. This all began when a friend took the car to a shop to get the trans. fixed. This car was used to pull a boat, and lost OD and drive. Anyway the shop drove it to a trans shop. They said to rebuild it. They drove it back to the shop (friends lack of funds). This is where I come in. The car sat for about 14 months. A week before I saw it, my friend tried to crank it. Dead battery, so he jumped it off, it would crank but not start. When I went to try to help start it, the
20amp IGN,RUN,START,ACC fuse in the PDC was blown. Replaced the fuse, no luck. So the next week it was towed to my house. I started checking amps and voltage to the coil, relays and the cam and crank sensors( just the voltage output). I can manually set the fuel pump relay and get gas. I replaced the crankshaft sensor (had the same problem on a 97 Explorer). Still no spark or fuel. My next move is to replace the cam sensor. Any advise on what else might I can do to fix this would be great.- posted
