I have already checked for codes- there were none. 80% of the time my car will not start. All lights and accesories work, but no crank. Found out that replacing the ignition lock cylinder will not fix the problem. If it is the ignition switch, how do I replace it and what is the part number?
Usually in this pt cruiser with that problem; the solution is the battery wires and terminals, replace the battery positive wire and the battery negative wire (clean up the connection bolt areas and put some silicon grease) or you can try temporary fix clean up the battery wires connections + one go to the starter and other goes to the fuse box+ ( negative goes bolted to the chasiss) don't forget to clean up the battery connections bolts (even if looks clean)
When you turn the key and it doesn't start, what happens? Do any of the dash warning lights come on? Does the engine turn over but not start?
1. If the dash lights DO come on every time, but the engine doesn't turn over every time, it's probably not a problem with the switch. Might be a bad starter relay.
2. If the dash lights DON'T come on every time, then it could be the switch (electrical contacts only working sometime). First, try spraying WD-40 or electrical contact cleaner into the lock area to see if that helps. If it doesn't, then you probably need a switch. Do a search for "ignition switch 2004 PT Cruiser" and you'll probably find what you need, including instructions. Be sure to disconnect battery before replacing the switch and follow precautions against activating airbag accidentally.

change the crankshaft positon sensor in the rear of the engine above the oilfilter. Also check the wiring to this sensor, they have a problem shorting out. You have to change the camshaft and crankshaft sensors at the same time. Make sure you give your car a major tune up. Did you check yor starter?.........runjoe
