2002 Black California Kid Prowler - CAL KID

The Prowler makes you smile. Why? Because it's focused. It has a plot, a reason for being, a passion. It evokes the hot rod. It evokes the American Dream. This car is the human psyche.

I remember the first time I drove my Prowler.
I came home from work on the first spring day and it was 70 degrees outside and when I saw my wife I said, "Lets go", she said where are we going, I said we are taking the Prowler out, then I said it again, "Lets go". So we hurried to the garage and she went to start it up and the battery was dead. I told her to plug in the charger earlier in the week but she didn't so I jumped it and away we went. We got down the road 300 feet and the low tire warning came on, after blaming her for not plugging in the battery charger, I didn't check the tires either.
Now we joke about it but we will never forget our first time driving the Prowler.

update on my experience, I am getting much more confident with the car, it's becoming a much more pleasant drive, have an issue of it having trouble to start warm, but we will fix that, and I still have a hard time with the fact I have no idea where exactly on the road my front right wheel is, but the more I drive it, the better it gets !

NullMind....Hard starting when warm is a fairly common problem with Prowler era Chrysler products......It is generally caused by a failing fuel pump that produces good fuel pressure when cold but low pressure when hot. Have someone test the fuel pressure (both when cold, then when hot) It's a fairly easy fix to replace it and DIY will save you a bunch...

Good luck and post the solution when you find it....(Please post it in the "Technical" section).....Others will benefit and appreciate it!

BTW.....Another possible cause is a bad fuel injector but I would check the pump first..

Just be careful to where the front is is and stop before you curb the nose when parking

As far as the hard to start warm, classic fuel pump issue. Tom Mills at JEFFERSON Auto (main page vendor) has the fix

Changed mine several years ago and no issues since
