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.

It could be a couple differentthings, first I would check the EGR Valve, it could be sticking open/leaking. Or it could be IAC valve (idle air control) sticking or faulty. Or it could be the MAF sensor faulty or damaged.

It sounds to me like there is a problem with your Idle Speed Control solenoid/motor. (ISC) These can sometimes fail without turning on the Check Engine light. If the Check Engine light is coming on while you are driving, you should have the computer system checked out first. This will lead you to the proper fix.

Most likely the oil pressure switch may be damaged. This is a simple procedure. Change and observe the results

SOURCE: where is the oil pressure sending unit on 2004 dodge stratus?

per the Haynes manual for the 95-05 Dodge Stratus on the 2.0L & 2.4L DOHC 4 cyl engines, the oil pressure sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. On 2.4L SOHC 4 cyl engines, the sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. On 2.5L & 3.0L V6 engines, the sending unit is located on the oil filter housing, on the front side of the block. On 2.7L V6 engines, the sending unit is located at the left end of the rear side of the block. To access it, remove the heat shield.

2000 dodge intrepid stalls out while driving and sitting in red light why

Dodge 2000 Intrepid stalling on Traffic Light - This is caused by either wrong amount of Fuel or Air mixing in Idle condition. Please check fuel pressure at Idle which should be at least 38 psi and should go up when you press the accelerator. If fuel pressure is okay then Clean out the Throttle body carefully. This should solve the problem if no Check engine light is on. If Check engine light is on then please confirm and give me the codes present in On Board Diagnostic port (Auto Zone or Advance Auto will read the codes free for you) and we will go from there.

If it's fuel-injected, you may need to have the injectors cleaned, and also, any air filters should be changed at the same time along with gas filter/s. If it's carbureted, the same as above, but have someone clean the carburetor completely. Make sure all air hoses are attached correctly, securely and NOT broken. If broken, replace them.

What do i need to be changed it stalls when pushing on the brakes and plus the idle.

i need a little more info, 2 things could be the problem, first you could have a bad brake booster causing an extreme vacume leak which could stall the engine, or at least make it run very rough and stumble when brakes are applied, the other thing could be a low batt, when appling the brakes the brake lights will come on causing a voltage drop to the engine causing it to stall, whoever the condition would drain the batt to the point that it probably wont have enough power to restart the engine, if this is the case you would also need to check the alternator for charge rate easy enough to check hook a voltmeter to the battery with the engine running it should read at least 13.5 volts up to but not exceeding 14.9 volts

My 2003 dodge stratus idles rough like it might die out then when you start pressing the gas to accelerate it has a tough time accelerating right away but then when it starts goin it gets smoother also...

check or replace fuel filter for clogging up. if it does clog up, then you will not get enough fuel to engine to run it properly. it will stall at stops, and be very sluggish on takeoff. check fuel pressure if need be. could also be a bad catylist convertor. so check above first. Rent a fuel pressure guage from advance or oreilley's and check fuel pressure if needed. they will tell you the proper fuel pressure for your car.
