Tune up (plugs,wires,and distributor cap) was done on a '97 Dodge Avenger with the 2.5l engine because it wouldn't start. It ran for 1 day after the tune up,but will not start now. No spark at the plugs. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Mine does the same exact thing occasionally. It will be running great and one day decides NOT to start for no reason. Everytime this happens, I take it to a mechanic that has a diagnostic machine and have my car's computer RE-BOOTED or re-set. Always solves the problem for some reason. I don;t know why it does this.

I loved mine. I got rid of it because I was driving in the boonies when it started to buck. No engine warning light, nothing. Brought it to a mechanic, they couldn't figure it out, was still bucking. I ended up buying a new car because I needed a reliable car for my job. Turned out to be the spark plugs! Argh! I loved the car though! They're pretty rare here, so you knew it was me on the road!

How hard is it to replace the positive battery cable,on a 2012 dodge avenger?

Remove the negative cable first, then the positive one.

Start by using a proper sized wrench and remove the battery connector, then go to the starter by following the cable to the other end and disconnect it. Replace by reversing the order - far end first and battery last. Reconnect the negative cable first and the positive last.

How to change battery in 2008 dodge avenger

Disconnect negative battery cable first then positive then remove battery hold down screws and install in reverse. Use rubber gloves to prevent battery acid with skin contact. I prefer using rubber pliers on negative battery cable. I feel its safer. When putting negative battery cable on, place on holding rubber part not the metal contacts.

97 Avenger will not start!

your coil could have gone out, you could need a new distributor, and your fuel pump could be out. but one thing is the fuses and relays check those as well. there is a relay and fuse for almost anything and that would explain why it all of the sudden happened.
