Ok.. I have been dealing with an issue on this car and been searching and searching but haven't found much info on it. So hopefully someone here can help me.

A little info on the car...2001 Stratus coupe. 3.0 V6 automatic. Just replaced timing belt and fuel pump..plugs wires cap and rotor are fairly new.

The problem I have with the car is...IT will start..Idle semi ok...than just wither and die. Than if I let the car sit overnight. It will start and do the same thing..

Things I have checked:
I do have spark when the vehicle will not restart.
Fuel pump has 13.6 volts when the car does run..and around 10.50-11 volts while cranking during the no start condition.

The car almost acts like it wants to start when cranking...I have been trying to search and find any info or anyone what has had a similar issue. Bust most people say it turns out the have no spark and replace the dist.

So any info on what to check or where to go would be awesome. Thanks in advance for any helpful info.

 

Anyone?

 

The best thing to do is get a scanner on it and check out what's going on.

When you say it idles ok, does it idle fine until it warms up or only a 30 seconds or so?

Does it start right back up after dying?

 

When I say ok..I mean like barely idle...And the first time after replacing the timing belt..the car ran for a while. I wanna say like a little over five minutes. It was starting to build heat in the engine bay. It was starting to burn off all the junk on the motor from sitting for a while. However. That was the longest it ran.

After it dies on its on. It will not restart unless sitting for a long while. Usually a day or just overnight. Than it will start and than die. Than it will not restart again.
