#373 of 425 '98 Stratus Idling problems by kennyb002 Aug 10, 2007 (7:23 am)
I have a friend with a 1998 Dodge Stratus w/100k miles, a 2.4L engine, and an automatic transmission. Whenever she puts the vehicle in drive the engine idles rough and almost stalls; but when she shifts it back into park or neutral it runs smooth again. The check engine light does not come on. any ideas? Replies to this message: dan119 (Oct 24, 2007 7:30 am)
#374 of 425 WANTED: VEHICLE FOR VICTIM'S FAMILY by amanda_goodwin Aug 18, 2007 (6:00 pm)
My husband was stabbed on New Year's Eve. He spent almost 2 months in the hospital.He received a total of 10 transfusions, had an emergency fasciotomy on his thigh and each side of his calf to relieve the pressure. He had a filter put in to catch the clots that would have otherwise killed him and skin grafts to close the fasciotomy. We are trying to get our lives back on track. One of the first steps in that is getting a car. I have been looking at the Dodge Stratus R/T especially in black. This family really needs a vehicle, one that looks good as I am only 26, runs good so we won't have to turn around and fix it in the first year at least, and has a good price as recovering from such a traumatic experience has effects on finances as well. If anybody knows of something please please please let me know. You can learn more about me and my family by searching my name on myspace or searching the email address of syren_godess at yahoo Any help would be so appreciated as it seems like things aren't getting any better for us.

#376 of 425 2004 Stratus Will Not Start by glasrt7 Sep 27, 2007 (4:50 am)
Drove my car to work with no issues. Leaving for lunch and nothing happened! If I turned the key back, from off, I got the radio but nothing no noise nothing when turned to on. One mechanic thought it was the ignition switch. When that did not work the sent it to dealership...it's the computer! The car is three years old - 100,000+ miles - how can it be the computer? Now beginning it's fourth day out of service - hoping to get it resolved soon. Replies to this message: franzrod (Oct 07, 2007 9:55 pm) trisha9 (Aug 28, 2008 1:11 pm)

Replying to: glasrt7 (Sep 27, 2007 4:50 am) MY CAR WENT THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION, WHERE I TURN THE KEY AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL CAME ON BUT NOT THE ENGINE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH LIKE YOU. IT TURNED OUT TO BE IDEL AIR CONTROL SWITCH. IT'S WHAT MAKES THE ENGINE BREATH!!!! IF ALL YOUR DOING DOESNT WORK TRY THAT!! GOOD LUCK !!! I HAVE A '01 STRATUS V6 3.0L SE WITH ONLY 86,000 MILES Replies to this message: trisha9 (Aug 28, 2008 1:11 pm)
#378 of 425 Throtle Body mystery! by hweatherly Oct 11, 2007 (11:06 am)
Hi Folks, I am new to this forum and here on behalf of my wife who owns a 01 Stratus SE Sedan. My reason for asking this question is an issue which recently occurred with maintenance, specifically cleaning the throttle body. The engine is the 2.7l 6 which by all information I can find has sequential multiport injection so I am a bit confused about the whole throttle body issue. Perhaps there is a reason for having one I just do not understand what that might be?
#379 of 425 98 throttle cable by rayvonr Oct 23, 2007 (11:34 am)
I have a 98 stratus and have to replace the throttle cable. How hard is this to do? It doesn't look hard looking at it. There are 2 cables. One to the pedal and the other to a vacumm maybe? Thanks.

Replying to: kennyb002 (Aug 10, 2007 7:23 am) I was curious Kenny if you had been able to figure out what was wrong with your friends Dodge Stratus regarding the idling problem. My daughters car is doing the same thing and am hoping you can help me. Ours is a 1999 verses 1998.   thank you

Replying to: amanda_goodwin (Aug 18, 2007 6:00 pm) Wow very sorry to hear that. Well yes absolutely the last thing you need is a unreliable car that will give you more headaches. There's plenty of good cars out there in the marked, but the Stratus/Sebring is NOT one of them. Consider cars with above average and good crash test scores like the Ford Fusion, Mitsubishi Galant, Nissan Altima, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Optima. And the usual as Camry and Accord but those are more expensive. But avoid Stratus/Sebring.
#382 of 425 Re: Sometimes it just won't start [interstate10] by carvingfm Nov 15, 2007 (8:41 am)
Replying to: interstate10 (Aug 30, 2005 10:04 pm) I have a 98 Stratus with a 2.4 engine and have the same problem of no start on occasion. The car runs fine and starts most of the time. It cranks over but won't catch, if you wait it will eventually start, maybe in 10 minutes or maybe as much as the next day. The problem most often occurs if you are using the car a lot that day and after several starts it will fail. Each time a mechanic has looked at the car it is running so they can't find the problem. There are no codes in the computer. We have replaced crank and cam sensors, and fuel pump to no avail. and have now spent about $500!   I would sure appreciate some help if anyone has had this problem and found a solution.
