Top 20 1995 Dodge Stratus Questions & Answers

It sounds like a cooling problem, is the fluid being cooled by the pipes from under the radiator? I have tried draining & changing the fluid, it helps sometimes, but it sounds more like the brake bands in the gearbox need adusting, and that means going to an auto transmission specialist, they will know in 5 seconds flat.

Egr dirty or plugged

The vacuum line for these break under the hood mostly. It runs into the electrical harness. If you can't find the break. It is much easier to run a new line to it. I drill a hole in the firewall then tape and silicone the new line at the hole.

Probably you've got a problem in your electric circuit. Check fuses though I'm quite sure it's not a fuse problem. Probably you need to check electronic system and need assistance fron someone with proper electonic knowledge and tools .

Sounds like fuel pump pressure .or blocked fuel filter or air filter. also dirty or blocked injectors.

You may have hook it up to computer diagnostics, reset timing. Spark plug gap also important.

The wires are most likely to be broken right by your stealing wheel. I would pull out the fuse box and fallow both wires for your fuel pump and replace a good amount of it

Fuel pump ,timing ,crank sensor... Several things could be cause

Two things are for certain: First: your dealer is a "Stealer", wanting to get even more of your money. Two: even when the grommet could be shorting the current to the car body, it is more probable that the "clockspring" wire inside the steering wheel assembly has a broken wire. Any reasonably competent car electrician shoud be perfectly capable of fixing both possible cases. Best luck. Amclaussen.

possibly ignition switch is sticking then vs the starter bendix sticking

replace start as starter bendix drive is sticky

this happened to me years ago. Turned out to be the cam sensor for me.

Sorry to tell you the bad news but I have to. Please do not loose time to try turn the engine.You cause more problems inside the engine. Since you cracked the oil pan and you drove the car since it died,you seized the engine, you manage to turn the rod bearing on the crank shaft and the rod as well because there was no oil to avoid friction. What you should do? Ask an expert to check your car and give you the correct advice. Do not try any more to start the car.

Hi,Make sure the transmission is in Park (push it w/the foot on the brake). also, try to turn the steering wheel back and forth while turning the key in the ignition.TD

It might be the throttle positioning sensor or and idle control setting. I suspect the former as the problem. Get a repair manual to locate the sensor and replace it.

No there is not.

I would check the fuse and relay, then the switch for voltage.

You can not do this at home you must have the dealer do it on a special type of scanner.
