2000 Dodge Stratus Se

I think you are talking about it idling rough. like as if it almost wants to turn off? If so you might have the same problem that I do. I ran an OBDII scanner. I got this code "P0172" Fuel mixture too rich. From what I gathered there is something wrong in the oxygen fuel mixture, in order to compensate your main computer pumps more fuel in order to keep the car running (i think). Technically there might not be anything wrong mechanically, it just might be a sensor like the Oxygen Sensor, EGR, or something else.... There is a whole list of things to check if you get this code....


So if by "loabs" you mean that ur car idles rough then this might be the problem... hope that gives you some light on your situation...
