    2006 dodge sprinter won’t start

    Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 2006 dodge sprinter and it ran great for a few months then the cat got clogged and the brakes and one sensor needed to be replaced.

    Another T1N starting post. Weird cranks, sometimes only clicks, sometimes starts

    Hey folks, so here I am again with another 'won't start' post on this forum.. So I decided to store the van for the winter (about 6 months) without starting it or giving it any love. I guess I'm getting my bad karma back in for that now. I came back and the van wouldn't start. I brought it to...

    Altitude + cold temp = hostage, (or as I actually typed it, no start.)

    Greetings fellow Sprinter parents, First time posting. Not the first time that the SF's wisdom and diy write ups have been of major assistance, like alternator and water pump replacement.... Thank you much. I have been the happy owner of a 2006 2500 5cyl 2.7l diesel since April of 2005. Used...

    2003 2500 Starting Issues (over 300K miles)

    As soon as I hit 300,000 miles on my 2003 2500 SHC I started having starting issues. My battery is plenty healthy and it cranks okay but never turns over. When I've towed it to my local Sprinter shop (1 hour away), it starts up fine. This has happened several times since Christmas and it is...

    But it was highly suspect. The Sprinter balked at starting this morning; then, halfway to destination, the engine cut out cold! With a little key-wiggling and screaming, restarted; stalled again while parking. More banging, recovered and parked. I removed the cowling and foam block at...
