The most common cause of this condition is a failed crankshaft position sensor. If you have a tachometer or a scan tool (not a code reader) check for an RPM reading while cranking. An RPM of 0 while cranking usually indicated a failed sensor. If you crank the engine for 30 seconds and if the crank sensor is bad, it will set a PCM code which you can check for using any OBDII code reader.
If you must replace the crankshaft position sensor, I recommend the following procedure to avid great difficulty that can be caused if you break the sensor off in it's bore:
1) Unplug the electrical connector and move the wire clear of the area.
2) Get a fire extinguisher handy. You won't need it, but safety is important.
3) Remove the bolt from the sensor.
4) Try to very gently twist the sensor. If it twists, remove it and install a new one. Otherwise continue:
5) Use a torch to head the sensor and the metal around it to a high temperature. The sensor should catch fire and produce a small yellow flame. Allow it to continue burning until step 6 is complete.
6) Gently twist the sensor back and forth as you pull the sensor out of its bore. The melted plastic will act as a lubricant.
7) Extinguish any flames.
You should coat the new sensor with silicone dielectric (tune-up) grease before installing it. Always verify that you have adequate ventilation before working with fire.
Fire always turns out to be strongest. Fire always turns out to be strongest.
replace the spark plug wires
The Concorde could misfire for several reasons. Start by checking for proper fire to the spark plugs. Then check engine compression to see if a cylinder compression is down.
check if it is getting fire
Check fuel and fire. Pull a plug and smell for raw fuel, and check the plug and see if there is fire to the plug. If I checked the plugs and it is not getting fire or fuel at all what could cause that problem.
check the spark plugs. may not be catching fire.
sounds like the glow plugs need replacing
Start looking at fire and gas. Trace these two that are the main problems.
on fire wall under the hood
Check and clean your spark plugs that might be the problem.
ok i have a 1986 jeep cherokee it wont start from the key in side it turns over but dosent fire up an its got (gas an fire) it will start if you pull start it an it has a carb
