My avenger starts up fine, i drive it for about 5-30 mins, then it just dies and all the gages come on. I try to restart it and it wont start. I have to let it sit anywhere from 10-25 mins before it restarts again. Then it will do it all over again. I let it run idle for about 35 mins and then it shut off and wouldnt restart til 20 mins later. I smell the fuel in the exhaust and have quite a bit of moisture or condensation coming from the tail pipes. I took it to a mech whom told me its a poss. prob with the exhaust but wasnt sure. It has a new crank sensor, new distributor, new air filter, new fuel pump and new fuel filter. What gives? Please help.
A very common problem with these cars is the crankshaft position sensor. also camshaft position sensor. they will make the car do exactly what you described. let me know what you find

Hey Philriden,
Thanks for the response. I appreciate the help. Got a question, i already replaced the crank sensor, is that the same thing as the crankshaft position sensor and or camshaft position sensor? If so, sounds like it has gone bad after about 6 months. If not, are these 2 different sensors or 1?
Thanks again.

My 2.5 '95 Dodge avenger does the same thing..but restarts immediately after..all sensors have been changed, no codes appear. and somtimes it runs perfectly for a whole day or two..Mostly dies on initial morning and evening start , while idling at a red light..or creeping in stop and go traffic..always start right back up immediately.
but mine it stalls out and starts right back up with out turning the ke mostly when i press the gas
