Hi everyone,

I have a Chrysler LHS 1995 model and it has been running fine now during christmas.

But on new years day I was driving and i stopped at a traffic light but when it turned green and I stepped on the accelerator nothing happens like the engine was shut off.

I start the car again but the engine just wont start and I left the car over the night by pushing it to a parking lot.

Next day me and my friend try some tricks to isolate the problem and possibilities.

We poured gasoline into one cylenders and we tried start-up spray but the engine wont start. We also took two sparking plugs out to see if there were any sparks while starting but they are stonedead....

Any suggestions what the problem might be.... it's seems to be electricity problem, right?

cam and crank sensors... first..  they tend to fail..  get chrysler parts from the dealer... i have had problems with some of the aftermarket versions..  ON THAT MODEL...

cam sensor is on the drivers side cylinder head.. up front... try that one first...   see if it will start with it unplugged... it might .. but won't run well...
