Question 3
Where and how hard is it to change a oxygen sensor on a 2002 Chrysler Concorde lxi?...  I'm looking to change my 2002 Chrysler Concorde LXI oxygen sensor but was wondering where it is located and how difficult would it be to change this? Thanks!

Answers
1)   They, the upstream O2 sensors, are located on the top of the exhaust manifolds. They are sitting right there in the open where you can see them. The downstream O2 sensors are on each of the catalytic converters. - Mike J

2)   Mike has the locations almost right, yes the manifolds, but the rear O2s are not in the cats they are just behind the cats, and if you don't have the right tools, special O2 socket and know how to "crack tighten" the O2s before removing them, you could pull all the threads out of the bungs that are welded to the pipes that hold the O2s and then you are in a ton of trouble, and out a lot of money. So difficult? no, if you are a mechanic and know what you are doing, Yes if haven't done this kind of thing before and don't even know what a O2 socket looks like - rick b

3)   Before ever attempting to change any of the o2 sensors on that vehicle you really need to know exactly what sensor it is.Those have 2 o2 sensors that are the same that are just after the front cat converters and then there is one just before the cat converter and one after it under the vehicle.The two upfront o2 sensors are the same part but the two in the back aren't the same as the fronts , but the two back or downstream o2 sensors are the same.The front's are usually cheaper then the down streams , plus if you shop around you may find all 4 of them for about 30-50 bucks a piece.

It's vital to get the P code for the o2 sensor and most parts stores will scan for the P codes for free but keep in mind that o2 sensors aren't always faulty when a o2 sensor code is present.Example the vehicle's main comp picks up an abnormal reading at the front left upstream o2 sensor that would indicate that abnormal air and fuel mixture readings were given at that o2 sensor local.Here's the catch if the comp did actually detect a faulty upstream sensor wouldn't the rear sensors also be giving off some kind of abnormal reading to the main comp?

Another common mistake is you're getting the same code twice that indicate o2 sensor faults and their both upstream sensor codes it's quite possible the engine requires a basic tune up and that's why the o2 sensor codes exist.Again this is why the P codes are so vital bec they should tell you if it's a bank 1 upstream or downstream sensor or a bank 2 sensor etc.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I know it all sounds a bit confusing but diagnosing o2 sensor fault codes can be tricky and if the proper diagnostic tester is used it can pin point and keep track of each individual o2 separate operations and in fact it should detect the exact faulty o2 sensor but once again poor spark plugs or spark-plug wires etc should be checked into first off especially if the vehicle hasn't had a full tune up in awhile.

Bosch replacement sensors aren't bad for those cars and again if you look around you can get them for a fair price. - helpful bob

Question 4
What would cause the cam sensor on a Chrysler pt cruiser to be intermittent other than high mileage?...  shortly after i purchased the car used it started misfiring and when i did a diagnostic scan it said the cam sensor needed to be replaced. That was at about35.000 miles now at about 80,000 miles its become intermitent again.

Answers
1)   You could have a bad sensor or maybe a wiring problem. I have seen sensors fail in a short time period but I would check the related wiring for worn insulation or other damage that might affect the signal sent by the cam sensor. - Mike J

2)   If the cam sensor is not a Mopar original it may not last as long. - C-Tech

3)   depending on where you got the sensor,the discount ones are only good about that long. - Danie

Question 5
97 Chrysler Concorde code 43. No spark at spark plugs, help please.?...  I have changed the computer already and I looked around on the internet for help. would the park/ neutral switch cause no spark at plugs?
I'm currently of the impression that it is the ignition coil. this started a while ago when my car shut off pulling into park, and the steering wheel locked. in order to start it ( after much frustration) I had to pull the wheel to the right while turning the key. When it shut off on me this time, I was parking as well, but the steering wheel did not lock. and help and questions to narrow down welcome.
code 43 Peak primary coil current not achieved with max dwell time OR Cylinder misfire Problem in power module to logic module interface

Answers
1)   look like coil pack,but check power who go in to the coil - oskarciu

2)   Before changing the coil, check your sparkplugs and ign. wires. - C-Tech

3)   It's quite common for those coil packs to be faulty but clean the contacts at the plug in connector , check the ground and take a good look at the coil packs housing look for any cracks or discolouring or bulges , all are clear signs of a faulty coil pack.

The neutral safety switch on those cars is inside the transmission but one test you can try is pop out the starter relay that's in the black box under the hood , one of the sockets connectors should give you a solid ground signal with the transmission in park or neutral.If there is no ground at that socket the starter won't engage.



Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way the U pull auto wreckers should have lots of those coil packs and the 3.3's are the same coil packs , also if you had to tinker with the steering wheel it's possible you've a bad ignition , but if you've a second key try it.Plus the gear shifter could be out of adjustment , it has two cables and make sure the gear shifter is in park fully when you try to start it.Last note from my service manual and code list code 43 is mentioned 3 different times and always misfiring problems so once again try another coil pack. - helpful bob
