problem #1

2008Aug 01

Stratus 2.5L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 130,000 miles

The check engine light came on while idling, took to Auto Zone showed all cylinders misfiring. Did full tune up, changed spark plugs, wires, distributor and rotor. Re-set engine light. After two days check engine light came on again. Took to Auto Zone (does check for free) showed cylinder #5 misfire. In researching the V6 engines through the Intrepid and Stratus a common problem was the Camshaft piston sensor bad. I bought this part and put in on. After driving approx. 10 miles the check engine light began to blink approx. 10 times then went off. After about a minute the engine light began to blink approx. 5 times. This went on for approx. 20 minutes, now the check engine light is just on. I need to take back to Auto Zone to see what the problem is or what code it is showing. This is a very big pain.
