Did you buy it at the Chrysler dealership, or at a used car lot??

Does your state have laws that will protect you under the circumstances
you bought this car? If so, bring down "the law" on the seller.

Now, if you have no other alternative, find the best independent mechanic
that you can find and let him have a look at it. If the dealership has no
responsibility to you, at least find somebody who can fix this POS. And
the dealership is apparently numb-nutted with this challenge.

I got it from a used car lot. Not here in the state of Illinois so if
you buy a care 'as is' it is just that. So I'm screwed.

Does this use AIR pump(s)? If so, the one for bank 1 might have
failed, or the solenoid that controls the air flow, or least likely
might be the 1st O2 sensor on that side.

The system checks for this code by momentarily allowing air into the
exhaust manifold on that side, and watching for a change in the O2
sensor readings.

New O/2 sensors probably couldn't hurt. Hopefully the converter isn't
bad. don't give up.. It's an emissions related issue. You can still
drive it.


Hey did you purchase it state inspected??????
