hello i have a dodge intrepid 2000 engine 2.7 ... i was wondering what do i need to replace is the starter or the ignition.. the problem is when engine is cold n i start my car it takes a while to start ... but when the car gets hot i turn it back agian n it starts normally what could be the problem here.. ??? plz help

 

It could be anyting from plugs, sensors or fuel system. Any codes...even if you don't have an engine light? Have you done a tune up and regular maintanance?

 

yes today my car turns on but when i pres the gas pedal it dies it only gives the p0106 n thats the map sensro do you think the map sensor is causing this symptoms? yesterday it gave me the code p0356 ignition coil but today i check the coils n they look ok it has new plugs they where change mont ago.. please help me solve my problem this is the only car i got man..

 

Yes p106 (baro out of range) will cause the engine to die under load. When the map is detected as bad, a fixed vaule is used by the computer so the engine can run. It will not run great though. Cheap and easy to replace. It can be removed and installed by hand with no tools at all. It just screws into the intake manifold and has one electrical connector.

 

well i will try that but here in texas the map cost like 90 dollars do you know any sites where i can get it chipper .. i cant waist 90 in a damnn sensor lol

 

Like I said, try to unplug it while it's malfunctioning and see if it starts right up. If so even at 90, that's not too bad a repair bill! I guess you could get one from a junk yard and take your chances also.

 

well i did disconnect the connector but the car turns on but it dies right away... what do you think

 

Strange... Did the map code only come on after you unplugged it and now it stays there? If so you just have a stored fault in memory. Scan it for any other faults and then reset it. Then see if you get any new codes.

Next I would try a fule pressure check. Check out the procedure in the manual in the post holy grail (sticky at top of second gen forum).

 

well am gonna buy the map sensor today n lets see what it does..... hey do you know whick is the ignition coil #6 in intrepid 2000 engine 2.7 i want to check that out cuase nthe car was giving me that code ... not no mpore but i want to check it out..???? how do you check if the ignition coils are good???

 

As for the map, unless the code code was there prior to removal, with your symptoms, like I said I'd ck the fuel pressure first.

As for the coil, you have individual coils on eack plug. I don't have a ohm value for you to check, but an easy test would be to change 6 with 1,2,3,4, or 5 and see if the malfunction moves (after a reset of the code). If so, they cost about $30. If not, it's either wire or PCM issue. I'd bet it's the coil itself though.
