Two companies dominated the car market between 1920 and 1930 in the U.S.: Ford and General Motors. On the one hand, the Ford T was produced, utility model, which should withstand the fierce competition of the many GM models, but in 1924, made it a new name: Chrysler. By the end of the decade, the new company had made no fewer than four brands, of which the price online was the most famous Plymouth. Was so successful that in 1936, the products of the Chrysler had overtaken Ford in the public acceptance and, consequently, the firm remained solidly in second place during the sixteen years later. But in the decade 1950-1960 buoyant, began the decline of Chrysler Ford and GM to resume fighting from their twenties. Chrysler managed to halt its decline somewhat during the seventies, imitating its rivals and creating large factories in Europe. However, in the following decade, shaken by the energy crisis, Chrysler was skirting bankruptcy until the fan Lee Iacocca drove back to a stable situation. Chrysler is currently experiencing a strong business.

1. The engine will not start

It may be due to:
a) Do not get fuel. The tank may be empty or clogged fuel pipe. You can also do not have enough pressure to fuel pumps. It may even be that the fuel contains water.
b) There is no injection. The fuel reaches the engine but no injection. We need to find out if the circuits are properly sealed. Also at the injection pump failures can be: dosage or faulty positioning, descebada bombs. The tube drive can be cracked or boards to be defective.
c) The shot is correct. However, the engine will not start. In this case, the reason may be that the enclaves of the controls are locked, the distributor of air boot may have connected the wrong pipe. If the boot is by battery, it may fail. One reason may be a more severe compression very low, suggesting that the rings, the piston cylinders or even be in poor condition. You may also be a cracked cylinder head. There will be time to disassemble, locate the crack, removing rust and replace the cracked cylinder head.

There may be obstructions in the exhaust that would make the firing. Perhaps the engine lubricating oil carried a little appropriate for that time of year. Sometimes it may happen that there is a plunger overheated about to seize, but did not do so in a timely stop the engine.
b) starts up but then stops. In this case it is a sign that you lack fuel or air. It should be borne in mind that fuel filter or not saturated and do not let the fuel, so we need a change of cartridge. There may be defective pipes or joints, so that the fuel is scarce. The solution is to discover and repair any inlets.
c) The engine starts up in the opposite direction. There are occasions in which the engine can not with a rise was cove and begins its march back under its own weight, yet connected with the march forward. It can also happen that failure to start up in one of the first attempts and takes command of the position of preheating, instead of the boot. If the motor turns upside down, leave large amounts of smoke through the filter of admission. Stop the engine as soon as possible, to change the oil and check that there is no damage.
