Fuel-related issues:
1. Low fuel level: Check if there's enough fuel in the gas tank. Refuel if necessary.
2. Faulty fuel pump: The fuel pump may be faulty or clogged, preventing fuel from reaching the engine. You'll need to have it diagnosed and repaired or replaced if needed.
Electrical issues:
1. Loose or Corroded Battery Connections: Check the battery terminals for any loose connections or corrosion. Clean and tighten the connections if necessary.
2. Faulty Starter: If the starter motor itself is faulty, it may not be able to engage the engine properly. You might hear a clicking noise when you turn the key or press the remote start button. Have the starter tested and replaced if necessary.
3. Ignition System Issues: There might be a problem with the ignition switch, ignition coil, spark plugs, or spark plug wires. Have these components checked and replaced if needed.
Airflow-related issues:
1. Clogged Air Filter: Check if the air filter is clogged or dirty and replace it if necessary, as it may restrict airflow to the engine.
2. MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor Problems: A dirty or faulty MAF sensor can affect the air-fuel mixture, causing stalling issues. Clean or replace the MAF sensor if needed.
Engine Mechanical Problems:
1. Engine Control Module (ECM) Issues: The ECM controls various aspects of the engine, and if it malfunctions, it can cause the engine to stall. You might need to have the ECM diagnosed and reprogrammed or replaced.
Security System Issues:
1. Immobilizer Problems: If your 1997 Plymouth Breeze has an immobilizer system and the key is not recognized or the system malfunctions, it can prevent the engine from starting.
Since the issue occurred after using a remote starter, it's also worth checking the connections and wiring related to the remote start installation, ensuring that they are properly done.
If you're unable to identify and resolve the issue on your own, it's best to have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic or automotive technician who can properly diagnose and fix the problem.
