#2 of 98 Avenger In Need Of Help by adiox900 Jan 11, 2006 (5:45 am)
Im new to this whole forum thing and all, but as a suggestion from a dealership who is enangering me, I made an effort to come and and try to figure somthing out. I have a 98 Avenger ES Auto. I aquired the car for very cheap, and I was currentley attempting to restore it to a nice, driveable car. When I picked the car up, it had a slgitht starting problem, just wouldnt seem to get enough gas to start. Also, (the main problem) while driving, if I was to hit the gas pedal about a 1/3 of an inch to far, the car would poop. When I say poop, I mean engine bogging out, and a few awkward noises would be propelled from the engine. We have replacd numerous things, such as the fuel pumps, a couple sensors which I am not 100% sure which ones, and have also done a full tune up, including wires, plugs, cap and rotor. I have all new fluids in the car, new fuel filter and some other odds and ends. Im in desperate need of an opinion of someone, becuase obviously the mechanics at my moms work dont know the difference between there ass and a hole in the ground. The car is becoming a major inconvience, and we are looking to find the solution so it can be replaced and start being driven again. If anyone has any help, please suggest away!!!!

Sorry to break the news to you, but there are manyyy glitches to the avenger that will have you spending money on the wrong parts! Ok so for starters the oil gauge is shotty! It will read low oil even after an oil change. Also if this is happening the other glitches are the gaskets in AVENGERS ALWAYS BLOW, everyone i know that drives one also has slow coolant leaks or leaks of some sort that will cause stalling on a consistent basis. The tire, atleast on my *OLD and SOLD* ride would rip and crack due to some shit rims the previous owner had on it. SO SELL YOUR CAR!!! I fixed the problems with mine for about $900 and the same thing happened about 1.5 yrs later. GET RID OF IT.

#6 of 98 check out for stalling problem by shoopaloop Mar 09, 2006 (5:37 pm)
Hey what up. I've noticed that on some dodge motors the valve seals will leak oil into the combustion chamber if the engine has high miles on it.... about 100000 miles or so. the oil can cover the spark plug in that cylinder and cause the plug to misfire or not fire at all. check that out by pulling the plugs and checking for oil on them. on the 2.5 liter v6 engine the front plugs are pretty easy to get to... but you may have to take the pendulum off to get to the back ones. !!
#7 of 98 staliing out by kellycalibell Jun 28, 2006 (6:34 pm)
i have a 99 dodge avenger v6 and i have recently started having problems with it stalling out and overheating all at the same time, i am not sure if 1 has to do with the other. i can be driving along fine and all of a sudden you can feel it cut out the engine lites are not on yet but if you press the gas pedal you can see the rpm's are not going up and then all of a sudden you can feel it open back up and gas is going thru again. sometimes it will not open again and just stall out completely, you have to turn off car and wait a few minutes and try and start it again, usually it does.

Replying to: kellycalibell (Jun 28, 2006 6:34 pm) i recently bought a 98 avenger v6 it had the same problem wrong with it stalling out everytime u come to a stop and having NO pickup from 0-30 or pulling hills almost like it was starving for fuel, I replaced the MAP sensor, fuel filter, and vacuum hose, and it no longer stalls out and it runs great now, just waiting for the next thing to go wrong on it but i like it for now so its ok.
#9 of 98 1996 Dodge Avenger crisis by avenger1965 Jul 29, 2006 (2:20 pm)
I am so tired of one thing after the other going wrong with this car. I had a new starter installed yesterday and went to crank it this morning and it wasn't turning over. Now they are saying I need a new distributor to the tune of $500. So the grande total for the past two days has been over $900. Piece of poo.
