TheGunny Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well a friend of mine was gave me her old car today, I need a daily driver to put less miles on my truck and hopefully it gets a little better gas mileage its a little beat up and might need some engine work but.... well see 1994 chrysler le baron 90.000 miles on it and a 3.0 v6.. Also the problem it has is when your stopped at a light or sign and start to gas it it sometimes dies or act like it's going to die??? maybe fuel pump or filter??

perk03z06 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Or MAF ... if it has one ... is dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYMoPaRGuY Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I'm pretty sure you can pull up codes on that car by turning the ignition key between "run" and "off" three times, then leave the key in the "run" position- the codes will flash off, ending with 55 (5-5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthSS Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I used to work on those when they were new. If it's a 3.0 with a 604 automatic, I would check for a vacuum leak, then ck air filter and throttle body-clean as necessary. Ck plugs & wires, fuel pressure and filter. There are sensors that go bad but they usually set off the SES light. And that three-cycles of the key should give you your DTC's. Expect a code 12 and a 55, with your DTC's in between. Oh and a bad speed sensor (or bad connector) can also cause a 3.0 to stall or almost stall...but it starts right back up easily. Hope one of these helps you out.

Wasn't the Mitsu engine bad for valve seals or guides or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthSS Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 It sure was, valve guides and head gaskets. That was the down side. Up side is 15 years later I bet I can still have the heads and intake off in a half hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
