The tension pulley is the one that is not driving anything, and has a large spring assemble attached. At the centre on the (cllosed) side there should be a 1/2" square hole that will receive your torsion bar. Pull the pulley assembly so that the belt is released,and remove the bely.

I'm not familiar with that particular car but I'll tell you what I know about rear door glass. On most cars you have to remove the door trim and handles, then strip the window rubbers / flock trim from the door/window frame. There will be various screws hold the guides and winder or motor in place. Remove the quarter light frame if it has one. The door glass guide rails and then enter the glass through the top of the door, tilting it accordingly. When you have the glass inside the door assy, get an assistant to take the weight of the glass while you reassemble the glass guides etc in the reverse order. Be patient because its a fiddly job rather than difficult.

Yes there is a fuel pump relay in the fuse panel inside the engine compartment, it may have to be replaced or you may have to have your tank dropped and the fuel pump replaced. You should hear the pump first run just as you turn the key on, have someone stand there with the tank cap open, this will help you be able to determine if the pump is working? Good luck!

Check starter relay and kick starter

No, the size of the fuse only protects the stereo against a dead short.If your battery goes dead and the connections are all good ,in all probability the problem is in your alternator. A mechanic with a tester can check that out for very little cost.

Sounds very much like your fuel pump is done for. After it runs for a bit it starts to get hot & quiets working once it cooled down it started working again. This is very common but more frequent if fuel in tank is low. It realy will take a fuel system test to verify.

Most likely the fuel pump. Pumps have many symptoms and this is one. Once the fuel gets warmed up the pump will slow down or just stop. After the fuel cools down, the pump returns to working. Next time it happens use a soft hammer or some like it to hit the bottom of the tank, approximately where the fuel pump is located. This jars the pump and usually it will start back up.. Change the pump.

I would also check the relays and the fuses in the engine drivers side I believe. Also the ones inside. Yes I do believe there is a fuse behind the stereo but when my battery died in my 04 durango it killed the cd player but the radio worked. I would check all the stuff you can to your ability. Does your stratus have a box next to the postive cable to the battery where it hooks on the terminal. You may need to replace that.

Your belt is out one notch on the oil pump which causes misfire

It could very well be the keyswitch itself... Try carefully wigling it to see if contact can be maintained before removing it from the steering column (too much work!). Amclaussen.

Try replacing fuel filter

You always disconnect the negative first to prevent arcing to the body.

replace thermostat, & coolant temp sensor. then add a good fuel injection cleaner to gas tank, after you replace the fuel filter. have both trouble codes cleared from computer @ the auto parts store.

faulty temperature sensor causing the misfire problem, replace the coolant sensor the misfire problem will be fix.
