Re: [Chrysler300] Car does not want to start

["Ryan Hill" <ryan_hillc300@xxxx>]

Ok, I'll throw out a few suggestions. Make sure you have sufficient fuel 
pressure, after cranking the engine a few times check your float bowls to 
ensure there is fuel inside. If you get a good squirt from the jets it's a 
good indication you have fuel(at least enough to start it)

Check your wiring, make sure you have a spark when cranking. An old spark 
plug can be usefull for this.(If it is your balast resister as someone else 
suggested, you can bypass the balast temporarily) I'm not sure about the 
earlier cars but I've found Neutral safety switch wires can be a problem as 
well.

Check your compression, ensure you have adequate compression for the engine 
to fire up.

I'm assuming the engine ran ok once you managed to get it running? If it did 
you can almost rule out a bad timing chain but it doesn't hurt to check it. 
A really loose timing chain can cause you real problems and unless the car 
has had a replacement recently it never hurts to change them.

Good Luck.
