Stratus f* problem for 1.5years!!help

Ok, I hope someone will give me advice because I tried almost everything. I have 95 Stratus ES. I experience intermittent erratic idle (surging up and down - not only at idle speeds) and my car looses power from time to time and I have to jump on the gas, push the pedal for 3-4 second and then it revs up. I've experienced the problem for more then 1.5 years. I had enough. I have had my injection system cleaned, throttle body cleaned, TPS replaced, EGR hose replaced (and the EGR system checked), I have brought the car to the dealer (advised injection service and throttle body service and possibly change the MAP sensor). The only thing I have not done so far is to replace the map sensor. I have no codes at all. The only one was 32 - EGR malfunc. but this was probably due to cut hose (replaced now). ANY suggestions why I have intermittent surging and power loss? What else should I try?

Thanks

Hmmm...

Is this the 2.5L V6?

I once had some trouble with a rough and uneven idle in N and P that was better in D or R. In D or R you naturally have your foot on the brake.

Somehow (I forgot the logic) it was traced to a master cylinder power brake vacuum leak, I think. Replacing the cylinder fixed it. I think a vacum leak makes the mixture too lean.

But the problem was not as severe as you describe. It was the 2.5L v6 though. Maybe your dealer should check this.
