#16 of 22 Wild accelerration by syndeegirl Mar 10, 2008 (9:20 pm)
My 1998 dodge stratus 4cyl car has been accelerating with out the gas pedal being pushed down. I tested the cruise control first to make sure that wasnt it. I disconnected the cruise vacuum hose, but it still did the same thing. It is very interesting. I will be driving with no problems until after a stop sometimes it will accelerate by itself. The pedal pulls away from my foot just like cruise control but only lasts for approx 3-5secs. It has started getting longer and today it started as soon as i put my car into drive. THANK GOODNESS FOR GOOD BRAKES!!! Does anyone have any info that could help me diagnose why my car is trying to drive itself?

Replying to: ijo417 (Jul 17, 2007 1:24 pm) Might wanna make sure the auxiliary fan is working. I had this prob in my 99 Stratus. If the aux fan goes, BOTH fans have to be replaced on the 99.

Replying to: barlaurs2 (Sep 21, 2007 4:22 pm) My 99 has over 266k miles. If your engine and transmission are running fine, there's no need to pull them.

I've got a 2002 Stratus 2.4 DOHC, When the cam sensor is plugged in it will not get any fire. If I unplug it car will start but runs terrible. I have replaced the Cam Shaft Sensor, The Magnetic pick-up on the cam. The Crank Shaft Sensor, The Coil Pack, Spark Plugs. What Next Do I Try.
#20 of 22 98 Dodge Stratus turns over but won't start by tsquier May 29, 2008 (12:00 pm)
My son has a 98 Stratus, initially we had to jump start the car. He drove it about 30 miles and parked the car. Tried to start it and it wouldn't start, even with a jump. So replaced the battery and the ECM was replaced. Still no start. Took the car to the garage and they put plugs, coil , cam sensor on it. The car started. Again drove it like 30-40 miles and it quit and won't start again. Any suggestions?

Replying to: ziggyzaggy (Jan 03, 2008 6:37 pm) Had this problem 3 times, the dealership blamed it on the fact that I had a remote starter put in my car. Removed the remote and haven't blown any fuses.

Replying to: mbt3 (May 04, 2007 12:52 pm) My mom has a 2000 dodge stratus se and she had a rattle also - it was diagnosed as a "brick like" in her catalytic converter.
