Grasshopper77 liked post by Handy_Cruiser On thread : Check Engine Light

We shouldn't conflate two completely different things. Checking and clearing P-codes that set Check Engine Lights are not the same things as checking and clearing performance readiness monitors. ...

Grasshopper77 liked post by RVC On thread : Problems charging

Turns out it was the terminals, especially on the ground side, but none of them were in very good shape. Thanks for the input. RVC

Grasshopper77 liked post by pt06 On thread : 2005 Engine starts, revs up, then dies

Assuming you have good plugs and wires, I'd check the rubber caps on the brake booster. I had one blow off. The IAC valve [aka IAC motor] is really a variable linear solenoid. The engine computer...

Grasshopper77 liked post by loomex On thread : What did you do to your PT today?

Not so much my PT, but someone else. A lady ordered a push mower a while ago and couldn't pick up because she said it wouldn't fit in her car. Almost a month went before she called again and this...

I have been planning to do mine. I haven't actually checked the fill plug, but... it is always a good idea to get the fill plug out BEFORE you get the drain plug out. Draining the trans without...

Grasshopper77 liked post by Handy_Cruiser On thread : Néed quick help on transmission filter

That's not an issue. Depending on the brand of filter you use on the 41/40TE transmissions, they may seem a little loose. But the pan will normally hold them securely in place. ;)

Grasshopper77 liked post by rckstein On thread : The great gasket vs rtv debate

It's the same procedure, and MOPAR recommended RTV, if replacing the filter while the vehicle is up in the air. I've had the transmission flushed on my PT several times. The last time was 05/17 at...

Grasshopper77 liked post by RickinPA On thread : burnt cooling fan plug

I'd say you have a bad plug or socket. Electrical resistance in conductors causes heat. In typical wiring and connectors, the amount of heat is low, and not noticeable. The problem starts with...

i used to feel the same way, until i realized the paper filter element is...paper, which is FAR more fragile than chemically treated cardboard. even if it were metal, it's still just glued together. ...

Grasshopper77 liked post by ptcruisersteve On thread : Crazy instrument cluster.

This is good information above and it reminds me that it would be a good idea to have a battery load test done as Myckee posted about the power. Sometimes the TIPM does not like it when the battery...

While its not a bad idea to check the connector, the fact that the engine is cutting out and then coming back online, is not going to be related to that connector. It is usually an indication that...

Okay. Let's make an assumption the battery is actually good based on what you said about the load test. I HIGHLY recommend you assure that battery is good first. If you are possessive the...
