I believe the factory originals are champion brand, and would have been platinum, but it should still run decent with the coppers. The only thing I can think of is they are of the wrong gap. Copper plugs do not come pre- gapped at all and need to be done by installer. The gap for your stratus, if it's a 4 cylinder is .050. Wrong gap will cause no power and shaking. Correct champion number in copper is #443, and should say that on the box/plug.
For the 1996 Dodge Stratus: I do not know if you have the 2.0L SOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder, or the 2.4L DOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder or the 2.5L SOHC V6; however I have included all three below...
For the 2.0L SOHC AND 2.4L DOHC In-Line 4-Cylinder: Firing Order: 1-3-4-2 Cylinders: ..........(back)......... |...1....2....3....4...| .........(front) Ignition Coil: .....................o <---4 1---> o .....................O <---Connector 2---> o .....................o <---3

using a spark plug spanner take each plug out in turncheck the gap on the new one with feeler gauge and install its a good idear to do it one at a time so you wont get the ht leads mixeed up
AutoZone's online specifications page gives this message..."Refer to the underhood emissions label for specific spark plug gap information" They go on to say..."Caution! Gap is not adjustable on certain plug brands"
