#20 of 44 98 Dodge Stratus turns over but won't start by tsquier May 29, 2008 (11:00 am)
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 5:37 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: jodi28 (Jun 26, 2008 8:47 pm) The cat on my 97 rattles too, remember the Catalytic convertor on OBD2 cars(96 and newer) is federal warranty 8 yrs/80K miles,so if yours is rattling,and under warranty,get it fixed free! It will onlyget worse,and plug up,reducing power,and mileage,or it will throw rear 02 sensor codes,which will keep you from passing emissions inspections,and keep that check eng light on.

I have a 02 Stratus R/t with 90,000 miles only. It ran fine 'till one day i was driving it and it seemed like it does'nt have any power. After then, the car won't start anymore.

I don't know how to check the fuel pressure i can't fine a place to tap a guage. It never been overheated, any suggestons? Thanks

#26 of 44 electrical prob? by opposed88 Nov 02, 2008 (10:46 am)
I have a 99 stratus and the battery light is constantly coming on. The lights and dash are flickering bad but only with the vent control on floor. I am thinking it is the defrost switch but i am not a mechanic. Any ideas? Replies to this message: wheelman (Dec 20, 2008 12:10 pm)

Replying to: opposed88 (Nov 02, 2008 10:46 am) Definitely an electrical problem which could mean alternator failure, loose drive belts, failing voltage regulator. Best course of action: Go to a autoparts store like Advance of AutoZone and have the guys do an electrical diagnostic test on your vehicle. Most of these stores will do the test for Free.   WheelMan
