Tried the 3 turn key stored diagnosis, but this does not display anything.

Hi
Not much to go on, need to see if there are any fault codes and see if it is fuel or electrical related.

All the lights on the dash work, seems like fuel starvation.
When you turn the key all ligths on dash light up as they should but it will not re start.
If I wait for a while no specific lenght then it will start, go for a while and stall again

Hi
try swapping the relays around just in case you have a bad one then is getting hot and shutting off. Swap the ASD and fuel pump ones with the AC and horn in the fuse box under the bonnet. After that will need to find out if the fuel pump is running when it doesn't start.

Hi,
Called RAC out, they tried the plug in and it registered no problems.
I will try resetting the relays and hopefully that will work.
Will keep u posted.
Thanks

Hi,

I am currently helping my sister out with her 2006 2.8 CRD with exactly the same problem. It has been in and out of the garage and chrysler claim there is no problem they can find. I am so glad to have found someone else with the same problem, as I hope this proves there actually might be an underlying problem with the car, not just hers specifically. I am literally taking this up as we speak with the MD of Fiat UK and the ceo of chrysler. Would you please be able to email me your name, details and a description of your problem, as this will support both our cases. andrew.nicholls@gmail.com

thanks,

I suspect there is a major problem with this car. You are not on your own, there are lots of people with the same problem and its downright dangerous. I can cite many examples where this failure has led to near accidents. I am currently building a case to take on Chrysler on this issue as currently they deny its existance and cannot apparently replicate the issue nor provide a solution. They need to be held to account. Would you be so kind as to email me at andrew.nicholls@gmail.com as your testimony to this issue would help yours and others cause. Thank you
