I have a 2002 Chrysler Int. 3.5L engine. A couple weeks ago the check engine light came on. We did the usual, checked gas cap, changed the oil etc... the car was running well other than the light was on. My father in law has a code reader but of course couldnt' find it. Wednesday my husband hit a massive pot hole at a truck stop which took out a tire and sent the alignment out. We had that all fixed. This last saturday I was taking my son to hockey and the car started to make a sound kinda like an RC car noise. I pulled over while he went into the store and the car didnt' really want to go into reverse. I put it in Park and into reverse and it moved fine. Then we went onto hockey.. Drove home 1/2hr drive and had no problems. Yesterday the noise came back and the car wasen't shifting .. it would start and then loose life. My husband took the battery cable off... and on. Low and behold the car drove just fine all the way back to home. We decided to drive it up to the mechanics last night and the light came back on.... and then the car wouldn't shift or pick up speed once again. After an hr to get to a location 15min away he pulled over removed the cable again and back on and flew to the mechanics with out a problem.
So far there is no news from the mechanic. Other than "complete fail code" and they are still looking at it. etc. I obviously are not mechanically inclined.. but from what I have described would you guess this is a sensor/computer issue? I am under the assumption that if the transmission is euchred than it would not shift and loose speed at all times and not come back to life when the error is cleared on the battery.
Any ideas?
