My 2006 dodge stratus 2.7 liter sxt died and upon trying to restart it turns over but backfires in the intake manifold and dies , could that be the maf sensor?

1. Set the crankshaft sprocket at TDC by aligning the sprocket with the arrow on the oil pump housing.
2. Set the camshafts timing marks so that the exhaust camshaft sprocket is a 1 / 2 notch below the intake camshaft sprocket.
3. Use an Allen wrench on the tensioner. Rotate the tensioner counterclockwise while pushing on the wrench until it slides into the locking hole.
4. This will allow you to slide your belt on. Hope this helps.

Probably loses either gas or spark. So check fuel pressure when it won't start, and check for spark on a plug wire. If fuel pressure is low, probably a bad pump. If no spark, diagnose the ignition system: coils, ignition coil control module (ICM), crank position sensor, etc.

An easy way to see if you lost gas, is to spray carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake while cranking engine. If it rumbles and tries to start, you know it is a fueling problem.

Battery or alternator? is probably the problem......try jumping it and if it still dies replace alternator...but dont forget to check all wires coming from battery and cleaning them....

depends on the engine...
3.7 liter, #1 below:



4.7 liter:



5.7 liter, #2 below:

it is always located on the air intake were you put the air filter.remove all the hoseing were the air filter is located ok and you will see it ,It looks like a niddle

In my 2001 Dodge Stratus ES sedan (2.7L V6), the EGR has shiny piping that runs into the side of the black plastic intake manifold on top of the engine. The other end runs down beside the engine heads and routes into the rear exhaust manifold.

Hope this helps. Best of luck.

sound like it could be fuel. pump or timeing belt. if you put a new fuel filter in be sure to replace the fuel filter

a sensor?which one havent a clue could be air flow meter ,check the air intake trunking for any splits

Maybe the spark plug wires? Spark plugs?
