Post by LRAMP »

Can anyone share where the inertia fuel shut off switch is on the PT Cruiser?

does chrystler still use the 3 second shut off relay. i remember in earlier applications i had issues with these. if the pcm didn't see a rpm reading it would shut down the pump. i had a box of these relays in stock.

Chrysler does not use an inertia switch. They use an ASD relay which is controlled by pcm. If certain inputs are lost to the ecm it shuts down the ASD in turn killing the fuel pump and certain ignition components.

EXCFELLENT! Thought i was losing my mind. I didn't think it had one either, but kept finding references to one.
Correct on the inputs- no input...no fuel.

Thanks again!
