wierd electrical issue
I have a 2001 PT Cruiser, won’t start... checked to make sure that the
spark plugs were firing.... discovered that the spark if any is very weak.. and when I turn the key to the off position the spark plugs fire one time very strong.... I have never seen anything like it... Why would the plug spark when I turn the key to the off position.... HELP ME PLEASE!!!! lost soul -- Posted at author's request, using moderated http://www.AutoBoardz.com interface Thread archive: http://www.AutoBoardz.com/wierd-elec...ict252918.html |

wierd electrical issue
The cam sensor connector and the ign coil connector are the same. Make
sure you didn't switch them. On Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:42:05 -0500, lostsoul > wrote: >Thank you for the imput Re weird electrical problem w/my PT Cruiser... >only 100,000 miles on it...
