Hey everyone maybe someone can help me i went out of town yesterday the car ran fantastic (seems when problems start to happen lol) well i crunk the car many times yesterday it crank and started up just fine on my way back to town i stopped at a gas station got back in the car and crunk it and the motor will turn but it will not start. Tried jumper cables and not a thing happened still turns but no crank. Fuel pump is operating you can hear it when you turn the ignition key. Ran a OB2 Scan last night when it got off the tow truck it had code p0129-barometric pressure out-of-range low i have no clue what it is and did not have one stored before or any code in the ECU. So what is going on here and what direction do i need to look at i love this car its fantastic

here is what i have
Dodge Stratus SXT 2006
2.4ltr 4-cycl

 

don't know if this will help
SYMPTOM
P0129-BAROMETRIC PRESSURE OUT-OF-RANGE LOW

WHEN MONITORED
With the ignition key on. No Cam or Crank signal within 75 ms . Engine speed at less than 250 RPM .

SET CONDITION
The PCM senses the voltage from the MAP sensor to be less than 2.196 volts but above 0.0392 of a volt for 300 milliseconds .One Trip Fault.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• IAC signal circuit low
• IAC signal circuit high
• Intermittent condition
• (K6) 5 volt supply circuit shorted to voltage
• (K6) 5 volt supply circuit shorted to ground
• (K6) 5 volt supply circuit open
• MAP sensor internal failure
• (K1) MAP signal circuit open
• (K1) MAP signal circuit shorted to ground
• PCM (K6) 5 volt supply circuit
• PCM (K1) MAP SIG circuit

 

Does the engine sound like you have compression?

 

How can i tell to see if it is getting compression?

 

The Car got took to the shop today and it was a "Dead Battery" didnt know the radio and stuff could run on a low battery still need the regular maintenance the 100K one which includes a Timing Belt/Water pump all new stuff in that area of the motor plus labor he quoted me a price around $550-$600 but usually that is the stuff that needs to be replaced to keep the 2.4 going for awhile right?

 

Thats correct. The timing belt may fix your no start problem. Did the shop tell you why the engine wouldn't start?

 

Dead Battery they plug 12v right up to it and it fired right up but they said i need to replace the timing belt pretty soon
