#79 of 98 Re: 97 avenger dies with foot on gas [asthmaticmom] by trexxt Oct 16, 2008 (8:24 am)
Replying to: asthmaticmom (Jun 26, 2008 4:30 am) I've been having problems also with my Avenger ,when slowing down I have to keep my foot on the gas and the brake or the car shuts down then I have to start it up again because the avenger is a very unique car as I found out '' I had to find a really good mechanic but before I did I replaced a few things that different mechanics thought was the problem and none of the new parts made a difference so when it came down to it this new mechanic really new his stuff it turned out to be the EGR VALVE which can be ordered from chrsyler for $148.00

#81 of 98 2008 avenger stalling...again...again by mnovoselec Nov 27, 2008 (8:40 pm)
I've had it for less than a month, and tomorrow it's going back to the dealer for the third time for a stalling issue, one that seems consistent with other posters here. It's the 2.7L SXT version, loaded with all the 'goodies', but if I can't rely on it, they're not much good to me, eh?   The EGR valve has been replaced already, and the 'flashing' of the ignition and throttle control computers. It stalled not even 100' from the dealership after all this, but I was almost late for work and couldn't go right back. Help?!?!
#82 of 98 Won't start anymore by pskoch Dec 30, 2008 (5:02 pm)
I have read what seems to be many similar problems but I can't pin down exactly what I'm encountering here. Any advice would be helpful. I've got a 95 Avenger 2.0 Manual. One day (happened to be a particularly cold day), the car would not turn over. It would act like it wanted to start, but would not. I waited for it to get above freezing, but still no dice. I also tried starting fluid but that did not help. Well, I figured it was the fuel pump and/or the fuel pump relay. I then paid more attention and noticed that the fuel pump did not run when I turned the ignition to on. I have replaced both the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay but I'm still getting the same symptom. The engine will turn over and I'm getting a spark, but it will not start. Fuel pump still does not engage. From the sound of it, it could be my ASD relay. Can you really replace that with any 5-pin 30amp relay? If so, then great, because the dealer wants almost $70 for it and I can probably get it at an auto parts store for $10-$15. I am not getting any check engine light codes. It flashes the normal 5 - 5. Anybody have any advice? I need to get this car moving again...it's my daily driver.

Replying to: hambone66 (Dec 30, 2008 5:54 pm) OK, just tried some more tests and it sounds like the fuel pump kicks on when the engine attempts to turn over...but normally it should come on when the key goes to "on". So, now I don't know what to think. I tried swapping out the ASD relay for the one that I replaced (old fuel pump relay), but I had the same result.   Any ideas?

Replying to: pskoch (Dec 31, 2008 7:53 am) Well, I gave up and took it to the shop. They said the front O2 sensor went bad and thus flooded my engine and ruining the spark plugs. New plugs and a new front oxygen sensor and she is running like a champ. The fuel pump wasn't turning on because the engine was flooded (there was actually too much pressure).   Hopefully this helps someone out. Replies to this message: dodge_95 (Mar 21, 2009 8:27 pm)
#86 of 98 2000 Dodge Avenger stalling while Im driving by gcsanchezjr Feb 06, 2009 (8:49 am)
I have a 2000 Dodge Avenger that has been stalling (more frequently it seems) while Im driving. While I am driving my tach drops down to zero, power seems to be on, engine seems to be on then all the warrning lights come when when it dies. After a more then 10 minutes it will start up again. It may stay running or it wil stall out again in a matter of minutes. The longer I let it sit, the longer it will run. Ive also noticed some white smoke coming out of the exhaust, which leaves me to believe a gasket problem. But would it stall my car out like it is? Ive also noticed my Coolant was practically empty when I checked one day. Anyone have any comment or suggestions? It would be appreciated.   Thank you
#87 of 98 96 avenger by monkeymama1 Feb 12, 2009 (3:05 pm)
I think my car needs the asd relay changed . There are 3 relay boxes on the firewall in front of the steering wheel. Does anyone know which one is the asd relay? Replies to this message: donaldlee28 (Feb 22, 2009 8:16 pm)

Replying to: monkeymama1 (Feb 12, 2009 3:05 pm) sure buddy if you think that is what the problem is because i just bought an avenger for 500 and nobody could figure out what was wrong with it so i towed it home and figured it out within 30 mins i put a new distributor , cap and rotor and it started up and ran like a champ , very good solid car no problems yet and that was a month ago
