Asked by Duck65 Feb 18, 2017 at 12:44 PM about the 2006 Dodge Charger R/T RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2006 dodge charger 2.7 and it cranks but wont
start. Codes that come up are crank sensor n for throttle
pedal n sensor. I already replaced crank sensor. I changed
spark plugs n they were bad,its been year since last
changed. 130,o00 miles. I cleaned throttle , i started car but
cranked no start. I sprayed sum starter fluid on throttle cam
n cranked car,looked like it was bout to start but i smelled
smoked coming out of throttle n i turned off key. Motor
never turned on ,almost did but before it could i turned it
off. Could i have messed up motor ? My battery was
weak,getting it charged right now but im worried that i
messed up motor or something. Any information,hopefullt
good news ,woukd be appreciated. I called random shops n
mechanics said i probably didnt hurt anything.

It started n is running well, when i was trying to start car , battery sounded like it was dead, barely was cranking, i couldnt hear fuel pump turning on, but after pumping gas pedal,car started n is running well, by the way it runs ,you would think car is perfect but at around 11pm it will start again,crank but not start, during the day time i can turn off car n it will start, no codes so far, only hv the lighting bolt light on.

I applied for a loan from my 401k to see if i can fix it at a shop,i already spent over $500 for new key n reprogrammed, changing spark plugs,engine coolant sensor, was hoping to get blessed n be something small that i could fix , at times i thought fuel pump was going out but honestly now im not sure, hopibg its something small or semi small not a big cost job.

Update* turns out it was the crankshaft sensor, as soon as i put new sensor ,car cranked easily n ran very good for 15 minutes then turned off by itself n hard to turn on. Waited few minutes,cranked n started easily, has not turned off n starts very easily. Its been 3 days n so far working very well. Idk if the computer takes a few minutes to set everything cus after the 15 minutes its been working very well. Thanks
