how long was the car running with little or no oil? it can only take a matter of seconds to destroy a engine with no oil. hope that is not the case.

Check the wiring down the backside of the motor. The crank sensor wires are in the harness and Chrysler has had a lot of problems with oil dissolving the insulation and shorting the wires together. Sorry, that's all the help I can give you.

THESE MOTORS WERE ONE OF THE WORST MOTORS EVER BUILT AND IF YOU RAN IF FOR JUST A FEW MINUTES WITHOUT OIL THE ENGINE WAS TOAST.
YOUR SHOULD GET YOU VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED TO FIND OUT JUST WHAT THE PROBLEM IS FIRST AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE SOME IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
