hey whats up man, i have a 95 dodge avenger 2.5 es with the same problem. it used to cut off randomly but will start immediately for about 3 months, now after about 20 minutes of driving it just cuts off until and wont start for another half hour and im not getting any spark. i did a tune up, replaced distributer, replaced crank sense, replace idla air valve, now im thinking it might be the computer, someone suggest flashing or replacing it, any ideas or test i could perform to verify this?

before going for the computer check the automatic shutoff relay. I posted this a long time ago but it is the middle small box on the driver side under the hood up on the fire wall area if you take like a screwdriver or something and tap it while someone turning the key see if that works.. if it is the computer you can find one on ebay alot cheaper than junkyards or the dealer. I thought mine was the computer but turned out to be that realy for $50. let me know what happend... hope that helps some...

Thanks for the reply.
I keep reading all these horror stories about 1995-2000 Avengers, about transmission failure, brakes that wear really fast, and extremely high repair cost. But then, others say that the reason they have these problems is because they never do preventative maintenance (ie regular oil changes, replacing water pump, timing belt, and tune-ups). Overall, it seems like the Avenger has lower than average reliability, but then again, the majority of people who are going to be posting reviews/rants online are going to be the ones who have had problems with the car.
Can someone reassure me about my decision to potentially buy this car?

i hope you have given more than carefull consideration to why all the horrer stories .i have a 97 6 cyl,thats stuck in a parking lot. most the posts seem to be of the same or similar problems.allso i checked a few other sites for the last 4 or more hours and the same problems are listed .
so only as a suggestion , be carefull of your decision.you might face less a risk in another make and model
good luck
