Misfire problems on my 2006 Dodge Stratus SXT 2.4l DOHC

I have a 2006 Dodge Stratus SXT with the 2.4l DOHC engine. My check engine light came on so I went to AutoZone to have the codes read. It came up as a misfire on cylinder 3. I bought new plugs and wires (recomended) and the car ran like new for about two days, in which time the light went off. On day three the light came back on, so I took it back and had the codes read again. Codes read cylinder 3 misfire again, so I waited a week and a half and had them read again. This time it read multiple cylinder misfire, cylinder 3 misfire, cylinder 3 misfire, multiple cylinder misfire, for the four triped codes. Any suggestions? Does it sound like a coil pack going bad?

I have a 2004 Dodge Stratus sxt coupe with a Mitsubishi engine. My code reader said misfire in Cylinder 2.

P0302, see I now it, but is it only 1? DTC error?
2 engines , or where? and up to 5 world wide, NO VIN
Engines, Mitsu. no clue told.


V6 2.7L? (so says dodge.com USA> go this?
2.4 L EDZ I4 4G64 I4 DOHC and SOHC
2.4 L EDV/EDT turbo I4 (Mexico)
2.7 L EER V6 ) i GUESS THIS IF Usa CAR. has 6 COPS
Coup?:
2.4 L 4G64 I4
3.0 L 6G72 V6


my best guess USA is VIN K engine, no vin told so engine is UNKNOWN,

it means, this, only.
Low combustion on #2 cylinder, (spark,fuel injection or compression bad)#2
#1 is on crank pulley end. #4 is at transmission I4, F1234R
rear means tranny end. oK?
v6
all V engines 99% #1 is the bank V that is most forward cyl. of all.
to the crank pulley's
2nd is always 2nd in firing order, always,and PCM dictates it.

2.7l v6 24v ffv . dohc mpi engine.
firing order, 2.7L 1-2-3-4-5-6 even odd ;odd banks.




causes (v6 cops)
1: spark plug bad #2
2: spark coil bad, COP 2 dead? or weak or boot bad.
3: oil flooded inside the spark plug well, shorting all above out.
4: injector bad #2 (omg PCM, nah) swap 2 top find it;
5: compression fails #2
only 1 code told so answer is 100% based on 1 code only 302
6: rare bad cam lobe.
7: rare cracks in head , antifreeze leaks to #2 combustion chamber.
8: oil leaks to #2 via all classic ways.

Check engine light 2006 dodge stratus sxt

take it somewhere else like to an accredited professional service center and have a proper diagnosis done
the first step is a reading of the fault codes
next is a compression test to determine engine condition and gasket problems
I think that a fault code reading by a competent operator will reveal the problem areas and I don't think an engine overhaul is the answer

Cylinder 1 misfire dodge stratus 2006

if you have a cylinder #1 misfire it could be one of several things. It could be a faulty spark plug, faulty ignition coil, faulty injector or worst case, bad compression in that cylinder. The most likely problem is probably a faulty ignition coil for that cylinder

One way to test that is to swap that coil to another cylinder and see if the miss goes to the other cylinder. If it does then problem solved. Replace that coil

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?

No, unfortunately when I see this it is usually a broken timing belt or sucked valve. Both are bad. It could be an injector control, I assume the SXT is injected, problem but I doubt it. I would do a compression check to see if the compression is gone in any cylinder. I usually don't see a broken timing belt in a car that new but it is possible.
