Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Check for codes, could be camshaft or crankshaft sensor.

Codes don't always pop up. I hate to have you just throw parts at the car. So it just tries to turn over and then stop after a while? What exactly what is happening?

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
You started asking questions in another forum and then switched to this one. You only confuse people who do not know what the original question was.
It is more likely the crankshaft sensor than the camshaft sensor because the ratio of failures must be at least 20 to 1.

The rest of the post holds true though, the crankshaft position sensor causes most problems.
Only buy Bosch for these replacements as the rest keep failing too often.
But you are still in the wrong forum for questions like this. You have made the initial mistake, not me. 🙄

I suggest that you get an overview of this Forum’s layout and then pose a question to the one that seems to be the common area. it might take a few days for readers to notice and post to you. Give it time.
as far as the crankshaft positioning sensor remark by one180,.....it’s a likely culprit according to your symptoms, plus it should be one of the first orders of “replace before it dies on you”, so you’re not really wasting your mo ey.......Buy Bosch around 50$ or so.....prices have risen. Keep the original as a spare if this isn’t the problem.
some of these older guys have answered the same scenario of People bouncing around in different topics. Whack a mole makes them feel better.
Relax, and you will have a smooth running machine in short order from the participants. Plus ......the advice and whacking is free ! (And Enjoy the B&D,)

In the case you are talking about the member had started a thread with the same wording the day before in a correct forum and then started posting in this forum after he had been told by DTMenace he was wrong all the answers came in this forum. I confused me.

My blue roadster has been needing a new siren, got a new one a couple weeks ago. Pulled the cowl today, installed the new siren, vacuumed the leaves from the cowl area, blew air thru the drains to make sure they were open and installed the wiper shaft grommet I have had for years. All good.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Lucky you, I went to the garage where mine is parked after being towed in, installed a camshaft position sensor that came in hoping it might be that but no luck,waiting on the Bosch crankshaft position sensor!! Sprayed some fuel into the throttle body and it fired up for a second so will wait for the sensor nd then will know if its a fuel issue!! Always something

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Be careful when opening a container for the first time. Thirty seven (37) years ago I did something similar enough that "I should know better". Can I claim perhaps, that I forgot? Anyway, a blade cut through the tamper-ring with sufficient force that it just kept going until, thank God, my hand stopped it from damaging anything else. Hurray? It happened around 11AM and I finally went to the ER around 8PM. This picture was taken the following day. I like the multi-layer glues they can apply these days in lieu of stitches. I also have myself a brand-new Tetanus shot which if the statisticians are correct, will be the last one I'll ever need. Again, hurray? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯👻
It's amazing how little it hurts, but then how fast & how much it hurts if/when I move my index finger out of unison with my middle finger. The doc says that's probably because the knife made a little slice to a tendon, but thankfully didn't cut completely through it. He suggested moving my middle & index fingers in unison until the pain of doing otherwise subsides.
About 18 hours after the injury.
Based on the width of the cut, this is how much of the knife went through my skin. The knife was in & out all in a split-second, and my hand never let go of the handle.

3 1/2 months ago, mine turned 34,000. Nice ride and performance for a 15 (this September) year old sports car! Pardon the early morning dark shaky picture, the road wasn't exactly smooth, and the flash had to be turned 'off'). I COULD say it was because of a 'time warp' due to the really fast speed, but... NOT! LOL...
