cap or fuel filter?

First, change the fuel filter ... at 116K, it should have been done several times now. Not changing it is now causing the fuel pump to work harder and may lead to premature failure.

Second, on the hard starts, I'd suggest looking at the fuel injectors as another possible problem causing the hard starting. If it runs really rough after starting it may indicate a leaky injector. If it just takes time, then it could be the check valve in the pump.

Lastly, I'd also suggest a good throttle body and air intake/throttle position sensor cleaning. Ignition wires are likely also reaching their life as well.

PS I have not seen a distributor cap or rotor on a Chrysler in about 14 or

Cap and rotor on a stratus?.. Since when?

Damn brain fart again. I would check the plug wires, The fact that it acts up when damp or wet outside is a clue to having weak wires, The cap and rotor is a pain to install but the wires are a real pain

As I said, A brain fart...Bill is this considered a typo?

thanks for the replies guy's. i did put new plugs , wires, cap and rotor at
