what is the proper alternator size for a 1983 chrysler imperial?

Question 1
what is the proper alternator size for a 1983 chrysler imperial?...  stores keep giving me the wrong alternators and my battery keeps dying after driving... Need some help from someone who knows the car

Answers
1)   80 amps - mjmik1

2)   If you got lots of electrical equipment power this and power that. Most likely a 60 amp Alternate will do the trick - Donny

3)   The problem might be a bad battery, corroded cable terminals, frayed cables, poorly grounded battery to engine, poorly grounded engine to body, excessive current draw while running or current draw while vehicle unoccupied and not running.

I find it difficult to believe you continually receive the incorrect alternator. A 60 amp alternator should carry your electrical load with no problems unless you are using multiple amps to power your sound system. - Don't know everything !

4)   Its a Mitsubishi 60 amp alt. for the front wheel drive and a bosh or delco 60 amp alt for the rear wheel drive. Are you having the replacement alternator checked after the battery goes dead to make sure it is the alternator. It is almost impossible to get the wrong alternator. And are you having the electrical checked after you do install the alternator, you do know that your engine or body controller also controls the charging function of your alternator? - rick b

5)   It's not the alternator. Any size alternator will keep the battery charged. The size alternator for that particular car is depicted by what extras your car has such as rear window defroster,etc. Check to see if the voltage regulator is working. It is located on the bulkhead. Put a volt meter across the battery terminals and with the engine idling, it should read 13 to14 volts. - Jackolantern

Question 2
PT Cruiser repair issues?...  I'm considering getting a used PT Cruiser, but a friend of mine expressed some concern about future repairs. I know some car manufacturers make it difficult to take your vehicle to the nearest shop and it some cases you have to go to a dealership. Is a PT Cruiser one of these vehicles or can I take it to anyone if it needed repairs?

Answers
1)   you can take it anywhere - pickmefirstplz

2)   All modern vehicles are like that.

You can take it anywhere, but independent shops won't have the proprietary diagnositic software, the unique hardware*, the experience, and the parts on hand.

I would DIY rather than go to an indy. You kno wat u can and cant do. The indy will try to do almost any job you give them, and guess their way along if they have to.

* Mercury, i.e., has a $1,000. tool just for fixing the air-pressure light on the dash. Mite take an indy hours to fix it, if he could, and he mite mess up the electronics, and then you're in deep trouble.

Read Consumer Reports b4 u buy ANYthing. It's at libraries, bookstores and full access on line for $20/yr.

**Edit: Not to say there isn't incompetence & dishonesty @ dealers. I've experienced that, too. - Minister of Truth

3)   I do not know. I have had one for 2 years with no problems !

But I wish I done my homework beforehand instead of rushing to buy a car ASAP.

People either love them or hate them. I really regret buying it. The steering is not user friendly at all (yes I tested it before purchase) and makes it difficult to turn at sharp corners. It makes parking difficult ! I had a chevrolet before.

It also consumes an awful lot of gas for a small car like that.

I really regret buying this car and wished I had googled it beforehand. - Natasha

4)   Basically, you can take the Cruiser anywhere for repairs (and you will,,,,often.) - DER ALTE FIRZ

5)   The chassis is the same as the Mopar Neon, & any garage can work on it. - rick29148

Question 5
how do i undo the driveshaft at the rear of a chrysler 300 so i can tow it on a dolly?...  ??

Answers
1)   I'm not really sure what you're saying, but maybe put it into neutral? - Meech

2)   get under neath it and first remove the U bolts from the Differential end, then slide the shaft off the spline.
This is only really required if the vehicle has auto matic transmission.
You could also put the dolly under the rear wheels and tow it that way. - John

3)   How far are you towing it? If you're not going far, you don't have to go to all that trouble, just put it in neutral. Otherwise put it on backwards and make sure the steering wheel is locked straight ahead. I've done this many times. - D

Question 4
2010 pt cruiser only gets 17 mpg...?...  We do a mix between city and highway driving. Is it normal for a pt cruiser to get this low of gas millage? What are some things I can do to increase the gas millage?
It says on the chrysler site that pt cruisers are suppose to get 19 city/24 hwy

Answers
1)   that's normal for real world driving it is shaped like a brick and takes a lot of gas just to push it through the air, there is nothing you can do to increase mileage due to federal mandates if the makers could do anything they would, if you don't mind a loss of acceleration you can put bigger wheels/tires on which will make a big difference on freeways but you would need to get the speedometer recalibrated - Harley Drive

how long will chrysler minivan last? How many miles can be put on one?

Question 1
how long will chrysler minivan last? How many miles can be put on one?...  

Answers
1)   A long time and a lot. It really depends on how it's driven, how it's maintained, how it's treated/washed/climates it's driven in. Too many factors to list. No definite answers for you. - straight-shooter

2)   If it is taken care of, then expect 150,000-200,000 on the trans before rebuildind and 300,000 on the motor before rebuilding. - C-Tech

3)   The first one I owned was 1990 Caravan and I drove it 220,000 miles and when I sold it it was still going strong. The second one was a 2000 and I drove it well over 100,000 miles when I traded it in on a 2005 and am still enjoying it at 70,000 miles. - Jackolantern

4)   We have a 2004 with the 3.8 engine that is going strong that has had no significant mechanical failures and uses no oil at 160,000 miles. I used to have a 1996 Concorde (not a van, but with the same drivetrain) that I sold at 213,000 miles because the timing belt broke and I didn't have time to fix it. The guy I sold it to replaced the belt and it's still going with no problems. - Barry White

5)   Like any car, it depends a lot on what you are willing to put into it. Some people abuse their cars and don't maintain them at all, then complain when the break down early. You can make any vehicle last as long as you want if you are willing to put a little effort into it. - D

Question 3
thewhy do my brakes squeak when stopping?...  the brake's were checked out and i was told everything was good why do they squeak

Answers
1)   It depends how old your car is. I just worked at a car dealership, and the reasons why we concluded this is

1. weather conditions, if it rained, or it was really humid, or snow.

2. it is a newer car and needs to be broken in

3. time for some new brake pads - Michelle Duddridge

2)   Usually happens when your brake pads are worn out/thin. - I Like Lime Candies

3)   If the brakes make noise when stepping on the brake pedal, it means you have a set of metallic brake pads, or their glazed from heat. Nothing actually wrong with them. Let them be until they're worn out, you'll get a lot of life from metallic pads.
Master certified technician, 12 years experience - straight-shooter

4)   Ask your shop that installed the new brake pads to coat the back of the pads and bracket contact points with Mopar brake grease or Permatex disc brake quiet spray. - C-Tech

5)   Here is the skinny on brake squeal, Edward. Brake pads get dirt and grit on them from driving. This causes them to squeal when they are applied. There are two ways to stop this, but only temporarily. One way is to remove the pads and buff of the surface or you can drive the vehicle and make panic stops with out sliding the tires from around 50 miles an hour to a dead stop about 3 times to burn the dust and grit off the pads. This will last about a month until they start accumulating enough dust and grit to began squealing again. I prefer the second choice. It takes less time and achieves the same results and lasts just as long. - Jackolantern

3)   Agree, next time the engine heats up, pull over and pop the hood to see if it's running. If not it could be the fan switch or the fan itself.

At that age the water pump is also a good possibility if it hasn't been changed, but that should cause you to heat up on the highway, as well. - Barry White

3)   The first one I owned was 1990 Caravan and I drove it 220,000 miles and when I sold it it was still going strong. The second one was a 2000 and I drove it well over 100,000 miles when I traded it in on a 2005 and am still enjoying it at 70,000 miles. - Jackolantern

4)   We have a 2004 with the 3.8 engine that is going strong that has had no significant mechanical failures and uses no oil at 160,000 miles. I used to have a 1996 Concorde (not a van, but with the same drivetrain) that I sold at 213,000 miles because the timing belt broke and I didn't have time to fix it. The guy I sold it to replaced the belt and it's still going with no problems. - Barry White

Question 3
how can you tell which 99 sebring convertibles are stick shift?...  

Answers
1)   They are the ones with manual instead of automatic transmissions.

More information regarding the Chrysler Sebring convertible is in this U.S. News article, posted on Yahoo a few months ago:
http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1006/used-car-lemons-and-lemonade/ - Alice

2)   the one with a clutch is a stick shift. - Daniel C

3)   walk up to the window, put your hand around your eyes because the sun is really bright. Look in the center console to see if it has a stick shift or look at the driver's floor to see if it have a clutch *3 pedals* - Henry V

4)   The ones with the clutch pedal are stick shift. Very few manual shift convertibles were made. - C-Tech

5)   Chrysler doesn't make convertibles! After the car is built and ready for shipment another company buys it and transports it to their factory to cut off the top and replace it with a convertible one. Then Chrysler buys the car back and transports it to a dealer. The dealer, however, does warranty the top.
So the real question is; Did the company get an automatic or a standard shift to make a convertible out of ? You will just have to look to find out. - Jackolantern

Would buying a 2000 Chrysler 300 M with rebuilt tital, 108000 miles be too risky?...  thinking about buying a rebuilt Chrysler 300 M. The asking price is 2,900. IT has a rebuilt tital.The car
has 108,000 miles on it. Do you think this is too risky? I did test drive it, and it appears to run ok.
Thanks ----

Answers
1)   That is too much money for an 11 year old Chrysler with a salvage title. And for those of you that say it's only ten years, 2011's are hitting the streets now, so it can easily be 11.

If you are considering it have a mechanic check it over first, and then offer 2K tops (if it checks out) - PMack

2)   I would drive them down to 1000 dollar because if it was a salvage wreck it will eat up tires and it will not drive straight doors may not close all the way it may have been altered too much to be able to be repaired without a big bill. i wouldn't risk it unless you plan to part it out.

besides you can get a better car for that price.

keep in mind that the 300m was state of the art it has all the newest gadgets on it and fancy drivetrains buy one that hasen't been salvaged.

the only cars i would buy as a savage would be no more than 400 dollars - J.R.

3)   Have in check at a good repair shop. - Dan

4)   You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carinsurance.yoll.net - William

Would a 2001 Plymouth Neon be a good first car choice?

Question 1
Would a 2001 Plymouth Neon be a good first car choice?...  I'm about to purchase a 2001 Plymouth Neon as my first car. It has about 99,000 miles on it. I will probably be purchasing it for $3,900. I'm hoping that I will be able to use it for at least 5 years (when I graduate from grad school). I ran into someone at the grocery store who had a '98 and they absolutely loved the car.

Any opinion? Anything I should look out for? Is this acceptable? Do you think I'll get at least 5 years out of it? Tell me what you think.
I'm sorry I worded the question wrong. First car choice as in my first car ever.

Answers
1)   That's what kind of car i got. It's great on gas i cheap whats not to like!!!! And i had mine since they can out and my one thing messed up since. enjoy - Alex

2)   It would definitely not be my first choice (again) Ours was a piece of junk and unsafe. Buy it and you will LITERALLY run into someone at the grocery store. - Non-Sequitur

3)   I wouldn't buy a used 2001 Neon as my first car; I've heard too many complaints about them. How about a used Toyota or Honda instead? You get more features and better reliability. - Ken

4)   Not bad, but at that price I think the car should be in pretty/very good condition, seems on the more expensive end of whats out there for 2001 with around 99K miles.

At any rate I would absolutely have a mechanic look at the car and point any issues which could surface in the next couple months/years (engine, suspension etc.). You don't want to worry about repairs while you're in school. Everything checks out and you take care of it, it will last you. - CAS

5)   too old, too many miles for the price (this is a 10 year old car now!)
The KBB has this at about $3100 (private party, excellent condition)
I would offer $2K and then walk away - roadrunner426440

6)   Yes, just keep up on the maintenance. The 2001 is the second generation which is improved over the 1st generation. Make sure you get the timing belt changed on schedule as the Neon has an interference engine. - doane_nut

Question 3
I have a 2003 Chrysler Concord with the 2.7 engine.?...  The oil light keeps coming on when idling, but then goes off when the rpms reach 1000. Checked oil level but its good. Any suggestions on what else to check? It did come on when driving today a bit, but flickered as if it were shorting..could it be a bad wire to the sensor?

Answers
1)   Most likely a failing sensor or a loose connection at the sensor. You can have a shop remove the sensor and test actual oil pressure with a shop gauge to verify proper oil pump operation.

Best of Luck! - Fukkin Suspended

2)   The problem is most likely the oil pressure sending unit and connector. It is located on the side of the engine facing the firewall, with a green connector. There is a repair kit for the connector which should be installed with a new oil sending unit. Good luck. - C-Tech

3)   Besides the oil sensor or wiring or repair kit , remove the oil pan clean the screen inside there they can really clog up and cause severe headaches.



Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I'd flush and change the oil too. - helpful bob

4)   theres wireing a harness you add to the harness thats allready there on the oil sending unit. i put it on my sebring and and it took care of the same problem you got. they told me at crysler dealer parts it was'nt made for my car but i bought it anyway and it worked. what happens your exhaust manifould is close to sending unit the heat confuses it. i replaced the sending unit first and still came on. - tickettaker

5)   It's a 2.7L engine that is seven years old. While others have suggested it may be an electrical problem, I suspect you need a new engine.

Google "Chrysler 2.7L engine." They are pitifully unreliable and you're lucky it lasted this long.

It looks nice and I've been told its safe but I've also been told that its a pretty big engine and therefore its gonna be a lot of money spent on gas. It is a 6 cylinder 2.7L engine and since I don't know much about cars I don't know if i'll go broke because of the gas lol. What do you think? Is a Chrysler Sebring a good affordable 1st car?

Google "Chrysler 2.7L engine." They are pitifully unreliable and you're lucky it lasted this long.

Question 5
2002 Chrysler overheating?...  my Sebring 2.7 has been overheating I have replaced the thermostat and the cooling system sensor but it is still overheating and air is getting into the cooling system when I drive it. The mechanic that I had looked at it noticed that the radiator was hotter towards the top then the bottom was, he thinks the radiator is clogged. Can anyone shed some light on this situation?

Answers
1)   Unfortunately, 2.7 is not a great quality engine, but with that cooling problem, your mechanic is giving you the right diagnosis, with proper old style, common sense methods. There's a slight chance of getting a lucky break, if it is just your radiator cap that is faulty. - Van Bo

2)   There maybe some kind of debree in between your radiator and AC condenser. I would take out the radiator and clean it. - Kevin

3)   The symptom's sound like the water pump may be leaking. That wound cause the air to get into the system. if your car is under 70,000 miles it nay still be covered under warranty. Good luck. - C-Tech

4)   If air is getting into the system then there's a leak somewhere...that means the system is not pressurized.

Does your "mechanic" need an invitation? Pull the friggin radiator hoses and run water through it and see what happens. - Theneelster

5)   If your mechanic doesn't have a combustion gas tester take it to one that does and have it checked for a possible head gasket leak. Air getting into the coolant means only one thing. A leaking head gasket because the coolant system is under pressure and the only way to add air is through pressurization by the engine's pistons through a blown head gasket. - Jackolantern

Chrysler sebring for a 1st car?

Question 1
Chrysler sebring for a 1st car?...  I am looking into buying my first car. I have looked into Hondas and VW but because they are more "sporty" I can't really afford the insurance for it, I've got my eye on a 2001 Chrysler Sebring. It looks nice and I've been told its safe but I've also been told that its a pretty big engine and therefore its gonna be a lot of money spent on gas. It is a 6 cylinder 2.7L engine and since I don't know much about cars I don't know if i'll go broke because of the gas lol. What do you think? Is a Chrysler Sebring a good affordable 1st car?

Answers
1)   ? - kid

2)   It is. The turning radius isn't great, but otherwise they're solid. My mechanic told me that the engines in these cars just keep running forever. - monkeydamour

3)   They're not reliable. Maybe the engine is durable, but you're going to be fixing a lot of things. Look for something more reliable. Honda's are the best. A used accord is not "sporty" and has low insurance. Cost of maintenance is a huge factor. If you buy something unreliable, it will affect how much money you have for other things in your life! - oogabooga37

4)   I cannot recommend a 6cyl. Chrysler Sebring as a first car. The 2.7 L engine has some oiling problems and can sludge up and fail. Unless you can be sure that this is a good engine, I do not recommend buying it. I suggest a Chrysler or Dodge Sebring or Stratus with the 2.4L 4cyl. engine. It is much more reliable. - C-Tech

5)   I would go with the Honda or VW unless the Sebring is in excellent condition and has very,very low mileage. - Jackolantern

6)   I am not gonna say that I am totally sure about the answer.it is really depending on the personal mind.thus it would better for you to try to find the best answer yourself.Here   www.Autoinsurancepro.info   is a good resource for reference though. - JENNIFER B

my 1995 plymouth voyager transmission is slipping?...  it has 169k miles. would it be expensive to have it fixed?

Answers
1)   the cheap alternative is get a used one from a wrecker or car yard - verballove

2)   drain all the fluid and put a new filter and 2 quarts of Lucas Transmission Fix in there.that should stop the slipping if its not bad or until you have the money to get it fixed. - kawasaki

3)   its probably going out and having it repaired is probably going to cost more than the van is worth,going used isn't a good idea either because they only warranty a used one for so long,its going to cost around 1500.00 to rebuild that one,id have a shop diagnose it and make sure its going out and then decide what to to do with it,good luck with it. - dodge man

4)   Chrysler transmissions of that vintage are notoriously bad. Its true that the cost of repairs are more than the van is worth. Save your money for a down payment. - Dick Hertz

5)   Try changing ALL the fluid, not just what is in the pan, and filling it with ATF4, which has an additive to stop slipping. If it still slips, then you need it rebuilt or replaced. - Jackolantern

chrysler 300M electrical problems, please help asap?...  I was working on my stereo system by putting a line out converter in and finishing hooking it up and all of a sudden i hear a click and then my dome lights cut off, my power locks stopped working, my horn doesnt work, my trunk wont open unless i go back and use the key. btw the key was not in the ignition as i was doing this. me and my dad checked the fuses and we think they are all good but i will prolly recheck. i just really need someone to tell me what is wrong with it and how to fix it.

Answers
1)   BCM fuse or BCM itself.

What does it matter if the key was in the ignition or not. You disconnect the battery every time you touch the electrical or this is what happens. - Theneelster

2)   BCM fuse is usually labeled IOD and is located in the underhood PDC. It is sometimes in a yellow holder that you can pull up to help keep the battery from discharging while the car is in storage. - wondering

3)   You have blown the IOD fuse. Check the fuses under the hood. - C-Tech

4)   I'd recommend that you invest into a 12 volt test probe they run from 7 to over 20 bucks and I'd purchase the more expensive and better quality probe.

You'd ground the clamp negative end to the chassis or ground by the fuse box then turn on the ignition place it in the run position.The standard plastic fuse has to metal points at each end use the tip of the probe to touch each end of every fuse and most of the fuses should light up the probe at both ends and if they only lite up on one side of any fuse more then likely that fuse is faulty but note just why I say most fuses bec a fuse in the headlight switch output circuit will only light up at both ends if the headlights are in fact turned on.Example say fuses 12 and 11 are for high beams those fuses won't light up the test probe at both ends unless high beams are on.



Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way you could of damaged or blown the body control module circuits.Many circuits use one main fuse to feed a few different fuses and that fuse on the chart probably won't even mention all the devices it actually runs via the assorted attached fuses.You could of blown what we call a circuit breaker and be sure you read the fuse chart carefully or read the owners manual so you know and you can test the circuit breaker by popping it and using a ohms meter , also fuses can be tested this way but due to many vehicles having factory or otherwise security systems or features either for the stereo or ignition etc be careful and have the security procedures or radio codes handy if you pop out fuses etc.

Remember that even a fuse under the hood could of blown bec many fuses under the hood also feed the fuses inside the vehicle. - helpful bob

I have a Chrysler PT Cruiser that is giving me fits.?

Question 1
I have a Chrysler PT Cruiser that is giving me fits.?...  It is a 2003 and it runs good first thing for about 10 min. and then it will bog down making it hard to even get to about 20 mph. I have repalaced a boat load of sensors and parts but nothing seems to be working. When you rev the engine and you get to about 3500 rpm the engine will pulse up and down about 500 rpm untill you let up. Help please....
Had the catalitic converter and the oxygen sensors checked and they were fine. Was told by the folks who checked them that it was the computer. Changed the computer and no difference. We have changed the coil, the crankshaft sensor the comshaft sensor the battery temp sensor the alternator the battery. what else can I do?
pulled the codes from the computer and there were none, and my mechanic is working for free.

Answers
1)   Have a helper bring the RPM up to about 2000 RPM. Go to the exhaust and see if you have a good flow comming out of the tailpipe. I wonder if you have a clogged catalytic converter. That is a good possibility. You said the engine wont rev over 3500? Is that in neutral or Park? There is a rev limit that protects the engine that will not let you go over a set RPM in park. That sounds like a normal condition but I can be wrong. - Mike J

2)   You didn't run leaded gas in it did you? From everything your saying my first guess is that the Catalytic Converter is clogged. Try dropping the manifold, fire up the engine & see if it will run past 3K. I know thats gonna set off all kinds of trouble codes but that exhaust is a welded system & you can't break it with out cutting a pipe. If the engine revs past 3k put it back together & cut the cat out. - Kracker

3)   save yourself a lot of work and go to an exhaust/muffler shop and they can test your converter(s) - tronary

4)   You can get the freaking codes from the computer and figure out what the problem is... Or you can keep throwing money at it and pray to the almighty chrysler car God (some Canadian dude).

1994 Chrysler New Yorker Help!? IMPORTANT!!?...  I have a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker and i was on the interstate and it quit running for some reason,but the engine still turns over will not start. I was wondering if anybody knew why it had done this,and what i need to do to fix it?

Answers
1)   Make sure that it's getting fuel when you're trying to start it and that the fuel pressure is correct , you also need to check for spark too.Really the engine should of come on and there should be a code present or recorded by the comp system so have it scanned if possible or use the ignition to find out the code.Basically if you put the key in the ACC position then turn it as far as the run position do this 3 times and leave it in the run position.The service engine light should start to flash codes and it might flash once then pause then flash twice in a row that be code 12 = sometime within the last 50 starts the battery was disconnected.The last code is code 55 that just states that no more codes are stored or end of cycle.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way try those things and get back with the code or results and I'll try to help you more and maybe give you some more precise trouble shooting info too. - helpful bob

2)   There are a myriad of things that could prevent a car from starting -- don't you ever buy the 'fuel - air - spark' bs that people are quick to tell you.

Now, based on what you described, I'd single out three things.

1) Went out of fuel - or fuel pump or filter became defective
2) Ignition coil become defective
3) Timing belt slipped or broke.

Good luck. - Stephon

3)   You don't mention what engine is in it, but if it is the 3.5L V6, you may have a broken timing belt. If it is the 3.3L V6 it may be the crank sensor. A code scanner can help retrieve codes. - C-Tech

4)   IMPORTANT, you need more info, codes, engine info and there are so many things that could have gone wrong that there is no one thing wrong with it and can just be solved with yahoo answers. Cheap is, what cheap gets, take it to a qualified mechanic - rick b
