My 96 Stratus 2.0/5spd/105K Miles is running rough lately, particularly at low RPM. At highway speeds its OK, unless I have to accelerate up a hill. The gas mileage is OK--around 30MPG. It burns around a quart of oil every 1500 miles--no smoke however. The codes that I'm getting thru the dash...

Let's say hypothetically I have a Magnum 318 Dodge truck with a dead ECM and I want to get rid of the ECM entirely. I know there is a carb manifold available, will a standard electronic or points distributor fit these engines? Or is there an aftermarket one that does and provides conventional...

Chrysler often advertises a "Value Line" of brake pads, struts, shock absorbers and other assorted parts. Is the "Value Line" any different than the regular part that you would get if you looked up the part number on the parts list for your car? Is it cheaper / better / or just a marketing thing...

Our 1987 Plymouth Voyager (3.0L V6) has 137K miles on it. It usually starts fine, and runs well. Every once it a while it stalls. It does not run rough, miss, or show any sign of problems - we're driving along and realize the steering is stiff and it is not responding to gas - it has stalled. ...

I am replacing the front bumper cover on my 2003 Dodge Neon SXT, and I am having a little trouble figuring out where all the bolts/clips are located that hold the cover on. I tried removing all the ones I could see in plain view, but the bumper cover doesn't budge. I'm guessing there are some...

I am replacing the filter in the automatic transmission of my 1996 Plymouth Voyager 2.4L 4 Valve. I just want to be sure I have the correct filter before I proceed. The filter I removed is (sorta) arrow shaped, has the Chrysler logo on it, is held in place by two screws, and has a flat rubber...

It turns out that the fan mystery was a lot more simple than I had suspected. The connector on the bottom of one of the fans is corroded, and the clip that holds it on is broken off, so that the plug was not not plugged in fully. A little piece of metal from the plug had come off and stuck on one...

I have a 94 Chrysler Le Baron. A while back it started hesitating, not on accelaration, just while driving. Then it would stop and be fine for a while, only to do it again later. Then it started dying when we stop or slow down, expecially when turning. Just recently it started getting really...

What is a good pull 2.5 engine worth? Are turbo ones complete worth a lot more than the NA ones? What should one look out for when shopping? Any idea on weight?
