When I try to start my 2006 Dodge Charger it will not start initially. If I try to start it a few times eventually it will start but then it dies. If I try to start it a few more times after that eventually it will start and run fine. I can even turn the car off and turn the key to start it back and it starts right up. I have had two mechanics look at my car and neither can find a problem. They say the diagnostic test is not showing any codes for a starting issue. The one mechanic suggested changing the throttle body so I did that but it is still not working properly. I don't know where to go from here.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It is worse when I first try to crank it
How long has your 2006 Dodge Charger had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2006 Dodge Charger. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Changing the throttle body is a bad guess and a waste of money.
Testing is more than retrieving trouble codes -- it's checking performance of fuel delivery, ignition spark, air to the intake, emissions controls, engine timing and compression. When checking the various systems, the root cause of concern will become apparent.
