I have a 2003 Dodge Stratus SXT Coupe 2 door. When I am leaving from a stop light or stop sign and start accelerating, my car starts acting like it is going to die and the lights dim and then go back to normal and the car starts shaking hard. It also does this when I am stopping and sitting in drive but doesnt do it much if at all when the car is in park. Im wondering what is wrong with it and how much do you think it will cost to get it fixed?

Run the fault codes to get the problem area then get quotes from accredited service centers
guessing will cost money in replacing parts that are not broken

SOURCE: Cant find transmission filter on 2003 Dodge stratus Coupe.

The filter is inside the transmission. You need to take the pan off the bottom then you can replace the filter and the pan gasket.

My 2005 dodge stratus coupe sxt will not idol why

You need to proof read your message. Look for a vacuum hose off. Let someone start it you with the hood up listen for a hissing sound. Most times they come lose when you've had work done in the area of the motor. If that is not the fault check for a code with the ECM.

Car won't start 2003 Dodge Stratus sxt coupe cranks but won't start what could b the problem? I tried spraying starting fluid in the air system but it still won't start!

i would check and see if spark pluges are firing. you can take one out and plug into spark plug wire then let the bottom of the plug sit on engine and get someone to try to start while you look at the plug to see if there is any fire. if you have no fire or fuel it would be the crankshaft sencer. it could be the timing belt but the motor would sound different turning over then it used to.

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.
