1. crank or cam sensor
2. ignition module
3. coil pack
4. idle control valve
5. plug wires
6. fuel pump

i change all except fuel pump.....car runs fine now...but still drops once in blue..bout to get injectors cleaned to see if that helps.

best thang is to take it to mechanic and do diagnosic on ur car...autozone will do it for free...

Answer 2

When was the last time you changed the fuel filter.
If it is stopping up with junk it will just stop the fuel and the car dies.
Also it could be a lot of other things, but you need to supply more information

Answer 3

Need more details....does the lights on the dash go out? Will the car crank when you turn the key? Sounds like an electrical short somewhere but need more info. IM me if you want

Answer 4

sounds to me like you have a crank sensor going bad. it is located down on the front of the motor, next to the harmonic balancer. altough it is an easy repair, you should take it to a mechanic just to be on the safe side

Answer 5

check the fuel filter.. my caviler did that once before.. it had trash built up in then tank and it had blocked the fuel filter... if not, that.. I will have hubby read this when he gets home.. he is a dodge/chrysler mechanic...
