The way I used to check alternator is while car is running I would take the negative cable off the battery if the car dies then the alternator is not putting out enough. The battery is used to crank the car. When the car is running the alternator provides voltage to run the car and charge the battery back up. Now day some car have some security which if the car dies when you take the cable off the anti theft will not let radio work till you put a code in it. If not your battery or alternator it may be something draining your battery while it is off. If you have a light in the trunk, under hood under dash which may be staying on. I had a portable spot light which had a charger wired into my truck. I found the battery was bad in the light and the charger was charging 24 /7 and running my battery down.

They are certainly related. The PCM monitors the temperature of the coolant, and makes sure the coolant has reached operating temperature before it goes into closed loop operation. Closed loop is where the PCM is constantly metering fuel, timing, etc based on ALL inputs, including the O2 sensors. So your engine is not warming the coolant to operating temperature. First, make sure you have the coolant system fully serviced - topped up - so the temperature sensor is always immersed in coolant. If you are still having the problem, your thermostat may be stuck open, allowing the coolant to circulate unhindered through the radiator and keeping it below optimum temperature. Another thing to check is your cooling fan(s) - it/they shouldn't come on until the engine is fully warmed up (unless you have the air conditioning turned on).

Radiator cap is bad . It's flash bolling out of the radiator into the coolant reservoir ,take an have it pressure tested .

check oil level [ looks good is not doesnt fly as as not being a possible problem ] may need an oil change --if oil is good -new with new filter will need to have the oil pressure sensor tested and oil pressure tested if sender failing then replacement should fix if low oil pressure then

New pump and a supply and it still doesn't work - either the pump is faulty or the ground return is defective or incomplete. 2004 model probably employs a CAN-bus system where almost everything is switched by computer. Unlike conventional electricals where the supply is switched on or off, the later systems tend to leave the unit permanently supplied and switch the ground return. A wiring diagram could clarify this for you and you could discover the reason the fuel pump isn't working is because a computer hasn't provided it with a ground, perhaps because the immobiliser hasn't disarmed for some reason...

Sounds like the control unit or wiring (since you could mess with the wiring to get it working). The controls aren't controlling the dampers in the ductwork to control hot/cold, etc.

per the Haynes manual for the 95-05 Dodge Stratus on the 2.0L & 2.4L DOHC 4 cyl engines, the oil pressure sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. On 2.4L SOHC 4 cyl engines, the sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. On 2.5L & 3.0L V6 engines, the sending unit is located on the oil filter housing, on the front side of the block. On 2.7L V6 engines, the sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. To access it, remove the heat shield.

code p 16 refers to crankshaft position/cam shaft position bank 1 sensor A--correlation====causes ---wiring---CKP sensor ( crankshaft position sensor )---mechanical fault code p 0340 refers to -camshaft (CMP) sensor A bank 1 circuit malfunction ===causes wiring--CMP sensor--ECM cosrs nothing to check the timing belt , just remove the oil filler cap and see if the rockers are moving when turning it over the clue here may be bewteen the 2 codes , the word correlation and circuit malfunction so check the wiring, harness connections for pin corrosion and then substitute the ECM with a know good unit as the correlarion and circuit malfunction could be in the ECM if the ECM program is not getting good reports for both sensors then it reasons that the piston and cam shaft are not timed properly and so will not allow it to start

what are you trying to purge?

Then you need to check the following, test the fuel injector, is it delivering fuel? If the injector test is ok then check the cylinder pressure, it should be no lower than 5% of the highest PSI reading from all the other cylinders.

It should be on driver's side rear of engine
