SOURCE: Car losing power and turning off

if your car is 2003+ try turning the key to run (but not crank) then to acc. 3 times and the engine codes will show up on the odometer, then you can look up what those codes are to help diagnose some of the problems.

The pcm (powertrain control module ) is telling you it has a set code in the memory. Take the car to a parts place like (auto zone ) and have them to run a scam on the pcm for a trouble code. Once you have done that then you will be able to correct the problem. Hope this will help you.

My car tried to shut off going down the highway. Then it was shaking mildly. engine light came on flashing.This is a 1999 Dodge Stratus- 4cyl.-2.7 engine

The flashing engine light means the miss is bad enough to cause damage to the catalytic converter. The check engine light does not involve engine oil.
Are you saying the timing belt is not turning the cam ?

Check engine light flashes 9 times and car want start?

You need to get the OBD2 scan on the car to give you the codes. See if you can barrow one if not you will need to buy one. it will give you all the trouble codes for the car.

Two most common problems for this are the DIC and the fuel pump. Can also be the CPS. First check the code. You can try this first before going to a code reader: 1.With the car already off, switch on the ignition without starting the engine. 2. After approx. 6 seconds, the 'Check Engine' light goes out for an instant before lighting up again for 3 seconds. This 3 second flash is a warning that the actual flashing code is about to start. 3. The flashing code consists of a number of short flashes lasting 0.4 seconds. The 'Check Engine' light goes out for 2 seconds between each new flashing code (if there is more than one fault). 4. After the last flashing code, the 'Check Engine' light goes out for 3 seconds before lighting up again for 3 seconds, after which the flashing codes are repeated. Readout continues in this way as many times as you wish. Number of flashes / Function 2 / Manifold absolute pressure sensor 3 / Temperature sensor, manifold 4 / Temperature sensor, coolant 5 / Throttle position sensor 6 / Oxygen sensor 7 / Adaptation 8 / Purge valve (EVAP valve) 9 / ECM, internal fault If no flashing codes display, the problem is something else (other than those nine listed above) and must be determined using a generic code reader that supports OBD 1, or using the GM/Saab Tech II code reader and programmer. My money is on the DIC as it is a very common failure component and fuel pump failures rarely throw a code. The DICs are good generally to 100,000 to 150,000 miles, but this varies wildly, especially if the car is run with overgapped plugs for any length of time. The plug gap should be 1 mm and no more. Cars that are scrupulously maintained vis-a-vis the plug gapping can see DICs last over 200,000 miles.

Engine light is still on after we have replaced numerous parts

The engine light is on, Have u checked for fault codes? To check codes, pull back carpet on passenger side of car to expose ECU (electronic control unit) at 'foot' location on that side. There is a small LED display at the top of the unit, turn the key on (not running) and check for flashes, u must count the flashes to determine what codes are stored in the computer. Short flashes are for codes 1-9, two digit codes use long flashes for the 1st #, followed by short for the 2nd. There is a pause between codes, so there may be more than one. Check and let me know what u find.
