TECHNICAL INFORMATION TIP

Reference Number(s): AMC0185AP, Date of Issue:

NO-START CONDITION AFTER TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED

YEAR(S): All Years

MANUFACTURER: American Motors Renault

MODEL(S): Alliance, Encore

ISSUE & TIP

When replacing a torque converter or flywheel on a Renault Alliance or Encore, you could accidentally cause a no-start.

The crank angle sensor gets its signal not from the flywheel, but from marks on the torque converter. When you bolt up the torque converter to the flywheel, you have three possibilities but only one is right. The crank angle sensor must see the torque converter marks when the engine reaches TDC on number 1. To avoid confusion, make some marks on the flywheel and converter before you unbolt anything.
