A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
As many have stated about the Chrysler 300 model stalling and kind of running a little rough occasionally while idling and I am very surprised they are still in business. The Chrysler I have is my second and last one, the other one I owned was when I was much younger and only bought this one because my brother told me it was a good solid car and had no issues with it. I have a few family members who have purchased Chrysler and Dodge products over the years and they all have had horror stories like the Chrysler 300 stalling issue talked about. In short I would just as soon see Chrysler/Dodge shut there doors as a public service to the country and have some type of drive to remove the rest of there junk from the roadways.
As thousands of others have stated, I also have a 300c that just randomly shuts off while driving or when just stopped and idling. I have researched the problem and tried pretty much everything on the web out there. I have not taken it to a dealership as many others have stated they just waste a lot of money there, get no resolution and if there is one thing that Chrysler/Dodge and Ford mechanics can't do, it is fix automobiles, heck they can't even service them properly most of the time.
The only trouble codes I have gotten, when it does give one is the U0100 and the P0700. From what I gather a comms problem between the PCM and the TCM. The first thing I did was pulled the PCM and soaked the pins and the connectors in a vinegar solution, spray them off with electiclean after that and then blew the dry with compressed air. This actually made a noticeable improvement for several weeks and then the problem returned. Having been through the other suggestions such as changing plugs, transmission oil change, thoroughly cleaned the "throttle body" ( I quoted that because on a port fuel injection your throttle body is not longer there so I am actually referring to the butterfly and that housing on the air intake of the intake manifold). My back ground is cable harness and circuit cards from the aerospace industry and from what I have been able to prove out, I would guess the Junk Builders at Chrysler have an issue with the connectors or cabling in the harness. As the only time I have had any real success in alleviating the problem is when I have pulled the PCM connector and cleaned it. I actually did it twice with the second time seeing the problem subside but not for as long as it did the first time. Chrysler/Dodge has never gotten the electrical or electronics right in all the years they have been working with it int automobile and are dismal failures at designing and implementing electrical controls in to there products.
If the resistance of the spark plugs is so critical to the correct operation that you can't use like brands to the Champion brand then Chrysler should be forced to buy all these cars back. I installed an Autolite XP5263, the problem was persistent before I installed them as well as after. I also put 0w20 in for the winter months as we will see well below 0 Fahrenheit. The problem persists on E, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4 and full tank of gas.
If anyone has any actual success stories or suggestions please pass them on, thanks.
