96 Stratus, 2.0L, 5spd--Hesitation Problem

Dec 04, 2005 3 Replies

My 96 Stratus, 2.0L 5sp, 97K Miles, has developed an annoying hestitation problem. It doesn't happen when the car is cold, but after a couple of miles/5 minutes it starts. Starting from a stand-still requires a light touch of the throttle, otherwise the car hestitates/bucks up to 2500-2700 RPM At 2700+ RPMs the car feels normal. It almost feels like the car is being flooded with Gas at lower RPMs.



Gas Mileage is normal--about 31 MPG all around driving.



I checked the computer for error codes, nothing being reported.



Any Suggestions/comments/past experience would be apprecitated before I call my mechanic.



Thanks.


When was it last tuned up? Condition of plugs, wires, fuel injectors?

Last tune was about two years(25K Miles) ago. Plugs and wires replaced not long before that. Nothing has ever been done to the fuel injectors.

Replace the plugs and wires and see if that eliminates the problem.
