After having my 06 dodge stratus checked out. 6 codes showed up. I don't want to just start throwing parts on without knowing the real reason for the problem. The car drives fine and then just stalls. It starts right up and drive fine again. Codes: p0129 p0344 p0339 p0340 p0335 p0122

above the clutch housing on the top there is a flat part the number is stamped there. code should say bank 1 or 2 with the code. https://www.autozone.com/powertrain/engine/dodge/stratus/2005

numerous reasons: Check for blown fuses for the ECU- the brains of the car. Next try replacing the fuel filter (not likely). Next- fuel pump relay-Turn on ignition but don't try to start, listen for a humming sound from the gas tank, pump should run for about 2 seconds then stop, if it does this you can rule out the fuel pump relay, if not change out the relay and try above again, if still no humming then the pump it self might be bad. This I think is the only check you can do without specialized tools
Crankshaft position sensor mechanic will have to check this.
There is a sensor that watches your oil level-might be bad

First don't listen to Autozone, they are not trained techs and have no real experiences on what might cause this. You need to do a system scan for fault codes, if the crank sensor shows up as a fault keep in mind the sensor is not the only thing that can cause the fault code for a sensor, the wiring to it the computer and so on can cause this code as well. Have a good shop look into this problem before you start "throwing" parts at it that may or may not fix the problem.

The P0442 means Evapotative Emission Control System Leak Detected (small leak), I think you have known where is the problem.

you probably have a code in the pcm(computer) that should be checked out.you could have a bad crank sensor or a bad cam sensor. but it should be checked out to know what the code is.just so you know on chryslers these 2 codes could be caused by the oposite sensor.

Aside from the usual rotating tires to different
locations & balancing ,in case a wheel weight fell off,
you have to check motor & transaxle mounts & front
CV drive axle joints

Assuming you have no real obvious worn ball joints

These issues exist simply because someone just has
to get under the car & start to really apply their skills
& find the problem

If you don't do your own work, you are just sold any number of
services & no effort is put forth to help with the real shaking
issues etc

I don't believe this part is available aftermarket. I recently was looking for the same part on an 01, and could only find it at the dealer. It was right around 135 dollars. Have your vin number handy when you call them, they will probably ask you for it.

thak the car to advance and have code read it will tell you exactly what wrong as for the macanic been doing this for 20 with ase exsperance and have necer heard of capacitor! you can e-mail me at

the distributor is not the crank sensor. just because you have a code does not mean its a bad sensor. There are other reasons the code can set. The other half of the crank sensor is a magnet inside to cover. You need to inspect the magnet to be sure its clean and did not crack and fall down. The crank sensor can be checked for a signal to verify its not working. Go to youtube or do a search on how to test it. Just throwing parts on a car without verifying its bad can get expensive if you choose to skip the diagnostics.

Did you check RPM signal from crank sensor? It is the primary sensor on ALL cars for spark generation.
