The late seventies saw the advent of the "Chrysler Lean Burn Ignition" computer system, replacing the older electronic ignition. Unfortunately Chrysler mounted the ignition system to the side of the air cleaner pan, where it was directly exposed to engine heat and vibration, and the Lean Burn computers frequently fail as they age. This is one possible fault.

Another fault could be the ballast resistor on the firewall. This is probably the least expensive part to replace to test.

Another common problem that these engines have with age is stretched timing chains, which can lead to a chain slipping and messing up the valve timing. This can be tested by finding top dead center and comparing the valve timing relative to the piston stroke.

Look for a "ready-to-run distributor" on ebay. That will give you a new one with HEI module, stronger spark, and more reliable. Only $45 if you have a small block engine (didn't tell us).

Why might a 1994 Chrysler New Yorker not start after it stopped while driving?

When you say not start, do you mean doesn't crank or does nothing when the key is turned? BClear. I have a 95 that did that and it ended up being the cam sensor. After it stalled I would have to wait a few and then it would start right back up.

How do you change brake shoes on a 1965 Chrysler Newport?

To change the brake shoes on a 1965 Chrysler Newport, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheels. Next, remove the brake drum by unscrewing the retaining screws or using a puller if it's stuck. Take out the old brake shoes, noting their orientation, and replace them with new ones, ensuring the springs and hardware are properly installed. Finally, reassemble the drum and wheel, and test the brakes to ensure proper function before driving.

What is causing my 1968 Chrysler Newport not to start?

There are several potential causes for your 1968 Chrysler Newport not starting. Common issues include a dead battery, faulty ignition system (like the ignition coil or spark plugs), fuel delivery problems (such as a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump), or issues with the starter motor. It’s best to check the battery first, then inspect the ignition and fuel systems to identify the exact problem.
