Helpful Websites About 2000 Dodge Stratus check engine light on
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.

SO I bought my car yesterday, I left work today and the check engine light came on. I was on my way to the dealership and the whole time the check engine light would go off and then come back on and then go off and come back on. Who knows what the problem is, but it did it all the way to my house to.
