Chrysler NewYorker 5th Ave.

Can someone please help. I have a 1993 Chrysler NewYorker 5th Ave. It
skips. When I am at a red light, I have to put my foot on the gas &
brake or it will kill. Does anybody know what causes this and how to
fix it? I have already checked the coral, timming chain, vacuum line.
please help!
Thanks
Lorinda

Er...what is this "coral" you think you've checked?

It's probable that there are several problems with your car. One of them
is likely that the throttle body and AIS motor are dirty and in need of
cleaning. There may be others, too. You can check to see if the computer
has detected any fault conditions.

To check the computer codes:

With the engine off, switch the ignition key on-off-on-off-on,
leaving it "ON". Do not
go to "start", just "on" during this procedure.

Watch the "Check Engine" or "Power Loss" light. It will turn on, then go
off, then will begin to flash-out any trouble codes that have been stored.
For instance, if it flashes:

flash <pause> flash flash
<long pause>
flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash
<long pause>
flash flash flash flash flash <pause> flash flash flash flash flash

Then you have a 12 (one flash followed by two) a 35 (three and five) and a
55 (five and five). 55 means "end of codes" or, if by itself, "No codes
stored. Check the codes and report what you find.

Sorry, my bad. Its coil not coral. I didn't fix anything, my brother
did. He doesn't know what else to do so he suggested that I get on here
to see if anybody knew about this problem. It won't give any codes
except 55.

Well, the computer doesn't detect EVERY possible cause of improper
running. It can't detect a dirty throttle body or AIS motor. It can't
detect dirty and worn spark plugs or plug wires. It can't detect a dirty,
clogged or broken hose, valve or filter in the PCV system.

Very, very simple. A lever exits from the outboard side of the lower end
of the steering column, in the engine bay. When the selector is in
"Park", the lever is rotated all the way DOWN. When the selector is in
"1", the lever is rotated all the way UP. A link rod is attached
via a grommet and cotter pin into that lever.

The other end of that link rod is attached via a grommet and cotter pin to
a bell crank assembly. Another link rod is attached to the other end of
that bell crank assembly, again via a grommet and cotter pin.

The other end of this final link is attached via a cotter pin to the
actual gear selector lever on the transmission.

One of your cotter pins has probably broken, or perhaps one of your
grommets has gone missing. Find the point at which the linkage is no
longer linked, and fix it.
