02 Dodge Intrepid
I have an 2002 Dodge Intrepid / 2.7ltr
165,000 miles TROUBLE: Runs great when its running, its getting it to the running point that's been a problem. On any giving start the thing will start up fine, run great On OTHER STARTS: the thing will start stall start stall, buck, backfire, stall, idle rough then stall... I find when it starts like this, and it hasn't stalled (but its running rough) i let it start driving w/out hitting the gas pedal.... as it moves on this idle, it starts running better & better... Then Its Fine. Next few starts it might be good, (or maybe not), then other starts this will happen again.... The problem is very erratic.... HELP! Any Ideas of whats wrong? |

Oops, yeah forgot that little detail... Man, that's high mileage for an '02... For the OP, you need to see what's causing the Check Engine light to be on. Get the codes read, at a dealer or an auto parts store... -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951 |

Stay away from the auto parts stores, have it diagnoised by someone not
just trying to sell parts |

Famous words for an after market shop that cant diagnosis it Do you see the word "dealer" in my reply above? Don't be such a doofus, you ignorant grease monkey. No wonder you work for a dealership. -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space. Linux Registered User #327951 |
