Challenger 3.5 stopped and never restart, no DTC on VCM, SKIM or key issue ?

[Dontov]

Hi,

Firstaval, i'm in Europe, so, not able to went to dealer, as there is no mopar dealer here.

A friend of mine have a dodge Challenger 2009 3.5,
engine stopped in september, when driving,
he find a garage sp?cialised in US Car, but choose the wrong one (knowed to be one of the worth of the area, lie, expensive, bad work...),
the garage... done what is done (perhaps nothing, despite asking large bill and, as i see when i see the car this saturday, unplug a air tube, and also the air temp sensor....).

So, all i'm sure is just this, cause i tested and see result :

1. all air stuff seems to be right now (i replug all)

2. the car don't start (good voltage, battery, and test with a voltage donner car, 12.35V as i log on VCM)

3. the fuel came (unpung a spark too see if it's wet or not)

4. no spark (not au all)

5. VCM can communicate (no issue)

6. no DTC code (from VCM, tested when engine was stopped, and tested when engine was in startering action)

7. PCM was swapped with a good one (had tested original and the swapped, good VIN when VCM reading, and download all the tune of the swapped one)

8. not sure about the process to swap one, so perhaps the SKIM/WIN is entering in theif mode

9. friend have just one key, only one

10. VCM SKIM data are (whatever the PCM tested) :

SKIM STATUS: unknown: 01 11
SKIM/VTA Status : SKIM Learned
SKIM/VTA Status RAM : SKIM Learn... (..."ed in RAM" i remerber)

11. SKIM part in the tune seem to be ok in VCM, exact same as the Dodge Challenger 2007 3.5 find in HPT repository

SKIM : Disable
SKIM Capable : Enable

12. FYI, i use a end 2020 version of PCM, not the lastest of 2021, but not an old one

I readed SKIM is not yet usable with VCM, perhaps just testing since one or two years
I readed a ton of "dodge not start" related to SKIM/WIN
But cannot find the best route to fix that

I cannot fix that situation with VCM i presume ? (does exist a beta to test ?)
It this normal i can't see any DTC in VCM ? (i read about WIN process, and "B1A29-Skim Basestation Mismatch", but i don't see the B1A29 in DTC)
Can it be a SKIM issue ?
Or a WIN issue ?
Or a KEY issue ?
How can i diag this to be 100% sure ? (i read about WiTech stuff, but what is this ? price ? licence or other ?)
And what i have to ask him to buy and how can i do to fix this ???

Best regard
