Could be the crank sensor... Possibility that the fuel pump is going out or a dirty fuel filter. There are a large range of things that could be the problem.

SOURCE: My ignition fuel starter fuse blows 2 to 3 times a day on my 98 dodge stratus!

sorry this is not going to make you happy but its a wire shorting out to the negative side of the battery it could be anywhere under the hood, look for any wire that look chaffed, hope this helps regards John

SOURCE: 2003 stratus cam sensor replaced still unresolved

you bypassed the wires that connect to the sensors? that would have been my first guess the harness that plugs into the sensor. after that i would check the ground connection from the ecm. wouldn't hurt to check the battery posts too. if the battery posts are oxidized you can have all kinds of goofy electrical problems. hope that helps.

98 Dodge Stratus runs rough, stalls, is running hot. I replaced the cam and crank shaft position sensors when the codes came up, also replace the fuel pump a few months ago. Now this. It also doesn't start...

Well the timing belt and water pump either work or they don't. So I doubt either part has actually failed.
I think I would want to figure out the running hot problem first since that could cause the other two if its a leaking head gasket.

My 98 dodge stratus won't startbut it will turn

You need to check if its got air, fuel, and spark. spray some throttle body cleaner in the throttle body and quickly try to start it. if it fires up then your not getting fuel so you may need a fuel pump and filter. If it does nothing check for spark, if you have no spark then you need to check the coils and crank position sensor.

1999 stratus battery ok,sometimes it won't turn over,then other times it just fires up

If you mean sometimes the started cranks the engine but other times the it will not crank the engine you likely need a new starter solenoid, unfortunately they don't seem to sell them separately for the Stratus, so you will need to replace the entire starter.

Hope this helps.

Engine cuts out @2400 rpms

Check the crank sensor. This is very common for this problem. Best wishes!

My car wont start/crank and it a 98 dodge stratus

First, try to jump start in, if that does not work, next check the battery cables going to the starter, if they are secure and in good condition, you need to have your starter tested. The problem could either be the starter or the solenoid.
