Broken Sebring

Some stupid problem with my 02 sebring with the 2.7L V6, if you try to accelerate, it stalls.

Its a 2.7 v6 that's your problem. the Chrysler/dodge 2.7L v6 is the worse motor in the world. luckily it was only the cam sensor. these motors are 100% junk, when it starts smoking out the exhaust either get rid of the car, or swap the motor out with a better Chrysler/dodge motor. these motors tend to die really quickly even if you properly care for them.

@madmax2069 I heard all the stories about these engines. Been running synthetic with a change every 3k to prevent the dreaded sludge problem.

sounds like my 98 sebring.a common prob with those is the distributor.sucky design

[moldymac]

@SheWhoSavesThEarth It was actually the Cam sensor. These engines don't use a distributer, it has one coil for each spark plug controlled by the PCM.

was that a expensive fix?

[moldymac]

@blingmow101 not too bad, part was around $75. Been almost 2 years since I replaced the cam sensor, problem has not come back.

only happens if your an idiot and dont know how to take care of an engine

Its a sebring, it was broken from the factory, just like intrepids.

I recently ran into someone whom was contemplating purchasing an '00 Intrepid with the 2.7...I said, "Dude...You'd better YouTube with "Chrysler 2.7L V6" in the header box!"...He sure backed out of that car deal! Thanks, YouTubers...

@moldymac Them motors are ok I HAD A CONCORDE WITH THAT MOTOR IT PURED BUt my dad sold it

[madmax2069]

@moldymac you are lucky, my friend did the same but the engine died within 40k miles, he treated that thing like gold. all the time replacing oil even before its time, constant tune ups, the works and she still let go. had a bad rod knock and eventually put it out the side of the motor, and before it let go cylinder 3 and 4 had almost no compression, had a slight mixing of the fluids as well. it was horrid, and dodge would not cover it. he never drove it hard. he had all service papers even.

first of all, chrysler sucks. thats all

[g20s10silveradoman]

@RalphdaCuban only if you dont change your oil often..and use synthetic oil

[g20s10silveradoman]

@SheWhoSavesThEarth they dont have a distributor..cant you see the coil on plug ignition system right in front of you....like the owner said the cam sensor went...which is typical for the 2.4 and 2.7 so no matter what engine you cant escape that

[MrEvo89]

you should better get a 97 sebring homie , its better jeje lol

@moldymac Sure, sound advice, but what do you do when these damn things won't even start , whats the point of caring for them .....CHRYSLER IS SHENANIGANS , maybe not in the past idk but certainly NOW !!!1
