#335 of 423 Re: Fuel Injector Problem (again) [sxtstratus2004] by sad04stratus Dec 28, 2006 (10:19 am)
Replying to: sxtstratus2004 (Nov 16, 2006 9:03 am) 3rd Stratus: I, too, have had MANY fuel injector problems with my 04 Stratus sxt. As of August of 2006, according to the dealer and dodge corporate, there were not any recalls for this issue... but if you find something out about such a recall, please let me know! I finally had to get rid of the car because these fuel injector issues were 'not under warranty' and I couldn't afford to keep putting money into this car plus its high car payment,
#336 of 423 Engine wont start - lights on other electrical not by xekushion Jan 17, 2007 (8:49 am)
Hi All,   I have a 1998 Dodge Stratus and last night as I was to take my leave from work, I go to get into my car and upon turning the key into the ignition, the engine didn't turn over. Now I've had this problem before where I would have to crank for a few moments before the car would start. However last night the engine didn't turn on -- I cranked one more time and the engine revved only to shut off just about 1 second later.   When the engine shut off, it took my cd player, the buttons for heat and a/c, turning signals, windshield wipers, and locks out with it... However my interior lights, my headlights, and my windows still work fine.   I consulted a garage, and they told me it's probably a faulty battery (but i would assume nothing electrical would work then..) but I've seen elsewhere it could be anything from an ignition switch, to the starter/cellenoid to the distributor. Anybody else have this exact problem?   Any advice is appreciated! It's cold and the walk to work sucks, and with snow in the forecast I would like my car back..   Thanks, Gary

#338 of 423 Service Engine Soon Light On by tulsahog Jan 20, 2007 (10:38 am)
Pulled 2001 Stratus into garage a week ago, all ok. Today, started engine and "service engine soon" light came on and stayed on. Engine idle did seem a bit rougher. Turned off engine. When restarted, light still on, but idled smooth. Drove around block, ran fine. Removed and reinstalled gas cap, light still on.   Car has only 22,000 miles on it. Original owner. Any ideas other than take to dealer and check codes?   Thanks,

#341 of 423 Ignition fuse 20 amp keeps blowing by garzo1 Jan 25, 2007 (6:07 pm)
Go to start my car last week and when I turn the key there is no dash lights no radio. Turn the key all the way over any there is nothing . After trying to boost the car and much searching I find the 20 amp ignition fuse blown in the engine fuse box. A couple days later the same thing. Put 4 new fuses in an 4 times the fuse blows. I get the car towed to my mechanic and he finds nothing wrong after 2 days of restarting the car over and over again. Not once did the fuse blow for him. A few days later the same thing the fuse blow so I install another fuse but the car wont start. I leave the car along for the day the next morning it starts no problem. Any help would be great. My patience are run very short. Replies to this message: ambercheney (Jan 31, 2007 8:15 am)

#343 of 423 Re: New to Stratus [zephon] by mal1824 Jan 31, 2007 (1:30 pm)
Replying to: zephon (Aug 02, 2006 6:11 pm) I have the same problem. I have a 99' Dodge Stratus. It idles very hard. The whole car shakes and feels like it's going to stall. This progressively got worse after having service done after Expressway noticed an unknown leak coming from my car I: Replaced Cylinder head, head gasket, timing belt, water pump, oil filter, timing belt, tension pulley, motor tuned, and thermostat checked. (I'm going by the bill I don't know much about cars) But after bringing it back 3x, all a response I got was to put fuel cleaner through my gas tank to clean out the system, and nothing else could fix a heavy idle. what is going on?!

Replying to: mal1824 (Jan 31, 2007 1:30 pm) get your started checked under load. The problem is more then likely the starter module. I don't think you can get that part replaced only. I would put A used starter in like I did and see if the problem goes away. I haven't had a problem yet and its been 2 months but will keep you posted if you want.
