Answer 1

Hi im sorry your having these issues the oil cooler is a very common failure on these and is under the intake manifold (it is part of the [oil filter](/topics-oil-filter-chrysler/) housing adapter) they are currently on back order for most of the USA a defective coolant temp sensor could cause a no start but would also set a code, if it turns over but will not start i would look first at replace the TIPM \*Please note: You may see offers for Premium Services pop up.

Answer 2

Ok when it occurs does it turn over but not start or does it not turn over?

Answer 3

When it happens can you have a assistant listen at the tank cycle the key on and they will hear a buzzing sound for about 2 seconds (do not crank just turn to on) of course you will need to do this when its cold (the computer primes the [engine](/topics-engine-chrysler/) by turning on the fuel pump (using the TIPM) for a couple of seconds if its currently starting it will buzz if tested as described so you know what to listen for.

Answer 4

see if it starts if it does not look for a security light, you could have a key fob issue

Answer 5

which one of these lights are you seeing and are they flashing after you attempt to start it?

Answer 6

Ok have you ever had the Throttle body replaced?

Answer 7

Also i wanted to share looking up your exact concern the most replaced item unfortunately is the computer which has to be done at the dealership attached is failures in order of most to least likely

Answer 8

Ok no problem do this tomorrow (I will check back on you then) cycle the key from off to on leaving it off for 10 seconds before cycling back to on (do not crank just turn key on), do that 4 times then on the 5th cycle crank it if it starts the fuel pump has failed (it has a check valve that holds fuel in the line after shutting off) if this check valve is bad it will have a hard time starting after sitting over night.

Answer 9

ok well those 2 things will not likely fix your issue, but once you have it back see if it will do the tests i've outlined here and we can go from there. I will check back on this ticket periodically how long before you will get it back?

Answer 10

ok I will look for this ticket every day until then please do'nt rate me until after as it may drop off my sheet Lance

Answer 11

Right the oil leaks between the cylinder heads onto the [transmission](/topics-transmission-chrysler/) bell housing (where the starter is) so if you get it back today do the cycle the key thing tomorrow morning and let's see what happens. Lance

Answer 12

Hi ok what happened?

Answer 13

I'm sorry that's not something I can do remotely I can provide work instructions if your capable. Otherwise look for local shops that have ASE certified technicians If they replaced the oil cooler/ filter housing adapter they had to remove the upper and lower intake already so they should have replaced them at that time.
