Intermittent stall after vehicle has warmed up will restart
I have a 2012 Chrysler Sebring 200 LX and the only stored codes I have is a p0457 evap system-loose fuel cap and p0171 fuel system lean 1/1 and I noticed the lean code come on after the vehicle wants to stall I do have a scanner and I noticed that the cam sync state is in sync but the crankshaft sync state is out of sync but has not triggered a DTC I have checked for a good ground and a 5 volt reference I do not have a lab scope so I have not checked the wave form for when it stalls but if I get on the signal wire I thinking I’m on I see 2.24 volts at all times with a multimeter if I’m the right wire I still need to get access to a wire diagram
What engine is in this 200?
It has been my experience with Chrysler products, particularly the 2.4l engine (but not only) that the crankshaft position sensors will fail intermittently. It can be VERY hard to catch in the act.
I just had a Jeep Cherokee two weeks ago with similar symptoms. I usually recommend a crank sensor from the dealership. There just doesn't seem to be a quality aftermarket sensor available for these.
It is the 2.4 and that’s what I was thinking crankshaft position sensor but I just found it odd that on scan data it says out of sync at all times but vehicle will start and run untill it stalls and also no DTC is set for the sensor
