As long as you can get the car to power up (the lights and accessories come on in the RUN/Battery position), you can plug in a diagnostic scanner in and retrieve fault codes. You do not need the engine running.
If the car cannot power up, then the computer cannot turn on and the scanner cannot access the fault codes. In this case, you need to find out why the car isn't getting power before you can use the computer to diagnose any problems.
Have you had the vehicle code read. if not, check the crank sensor for position they do have a tendancy to move. getting it code read would be the first option though.
do you have gas in the tank
Make sure connections are on tight.
There are a few things that it could be if you Dodge Stratus wont start on first try. It could be the starter.
Hopefully by the time they are a CT scan technologist they wont need "practice" starting IVs. CT scan areas usually work closely with the ER and many times if they are busy and the CT area is not busy we will help them by starting their IVs for them.
check your crank position sensor, scan code P0335
the blinking light tells you that you have a malfunction in 4wd system. you need someone to scan it for you to find diagnostic trouble code#
Out of gas?
could be PO118= PO118 Engine Coolant Temp Circuit high =coolant temp sensor. Take to Auto zone or Advanced Auto (if in your area) and they will run a free diagnostic and tell you the code and what the issue is. Mine was the PO118.
check all wiring and connections for proper hookup. if no start still, reinstall old cap and rotor. If no start still, do diagnostic on electrical system.
could be a bad crank sensor, it wont always set a code, ive had a few that dont. if you have a scope or scan tool, manually check that the sensor is good.
check your spark plugs
The computer doesn't allow to start the engine. Check the error code.
It wont start because the key has a pelet on it that has a code. When the computer reads the wrong code, it dosent let the starter move and dosent let fuel through the motor. :)Belmin
