Just a couple of guesses. Bad (petulant) computer? Maybe a circuit inside that isn't right?It doesn't sound like a grounding issue if it starts right back up, but you might check the computer ground. Quite often, that ground is on top of the engine, coming out of the wiring harness.Hope you find it. Puzzling. Might help if you kept a scanner hooked up while driving. Then you might get some freeze frame information.

Yup! Running it low on oil can definitely cause a "burnt metal smell". It can also totally destroy the engine before you can ever smell it.It sounds like something that needs to be checked by a professional auto repair technician to me.

Your engine is equipt with hydraulic lash adjuster it is designed to maintain zero lash at all times

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

This will help.

Thanks.

ck fuel pressure

FIrst, spin the brightness knob back and forth, if dirt or corrosion are causing the problem, this cleans the contact area. If that does not resolve it, check the fuses number 7 and 11 just under the dash on drivers side, it has a cover on it that comes off.If the lights for system check do not come on when the key is turned to run without starting engine, check the fuses number 9 and 5 just under the dash on drivers side.If this does not correct the issue, and the following- Radio glove box light, ashtray light, ABS light at startup with the other system check lights do work, the bulbs for dash illumination are probably burned out.if the radio, ash tray and glove box light work and the other system check lights do not- the dash cluster may be seperated from the connector on the back side. or the ground wire for the cluster may not be making contact. The ground wire specific for the dash cluster lights is a black wire with orange trace stripe.

You mean its leaking under the hood and in the car? Or just under the hood? If there is no water inside, and the car doesn't over heat. Then i would say its probably a leaking heater hose. But if its wet in the car then yes it is the heater core.

Most likely a tension pulley.

Hello Richard, the owners manual would not help you on this problem. A flashing engine light means the engine is doing something abnormal, but it hasn't happened enough to turn the light 'solid.' - There should be a trouble code(s) saved which can be read by a scanner. You need have it scanned and get the codes, from there, repairs needed can be determined. I hope this information is helpful.

Hi, assuming you have the 2.5 liter engine, your damper is integral to the pulley assembly as shown in the second figure below, so there is only one part involved. You can see an example of the part here: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Dorman-Harmonic-Balancer/1999-Chrysler-Cirrus/_/N-jddk1Z93y2h?counter=0&itemIdentifier=917091_0_0_
If you look carefully at the pic below, you can see the rubber torus inside the pulley. The rubber is what fails and causes the pulley to wobble. You may need to borrow a puller to get the pulley off.
