A basic compression test can be done with the intake off. You remove all of the spark plugs and check each cylinder one at a time.
A vac gauge would show you if a vac leak was happening, but not which cylinder.

so by the timing chain issue , you have a 2.7l v6, was it rough idle before the chain replacement, if no than your chains are out of time by 1 or 2 teeth, on cam gears, this is a delicate motor on timing, of course a compression test would a have been first to do before any teardown. GOOD LUCK RDJRP

bank 1 sensor 2 is the left downstream sensor (1/2) is located in the exhaust downpipe just after the mini-catalytic convertor, and before the main catalytic convertor. Now the meaning of this is that your not getting any 12+/12- heating on sensor, which means voltage is supplied to heat sensor up. You have a O2 sensor heater relay, but not getting problem with 2/2 sensor tells me you need to check/inspect the wiring for 1/2 sensor, open wiring for 1/2 sensor and inspect

SOURCE: 1991 dodge stealth problem

I have a 1991 Dodge Stealth SOHC. It had the same problem and after replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter and tearing the car apart to no avail, I gave up and took it to the mechanic. The problem was the main computer located behind the radio/cd player. He replaced it with one from the junkyard ($200) and it works fine now.

I have a 1991 dodge stealthr/t twin turbo it backfires through the intake and exhaust a mechanic at the dealer said it is running lean and doesn't have a good reading on the down steam o2 sensor I

Here is what you need to try. When a car gets a lean signal from an O2 sensor it means there is more air than it should have. The general perception is that there is too little gas.

This means you have a leak in the intake gasket or one of the vacuum lines or vacuum solenoids. You can try spraying a water mist from a handheld spray bottle on the running egine. If the engine stalls or Rpm drops, you have found the leak.

Now I see that this is a Dual Turbo. Sometimes there is valving or "Gates" inside the turbo that regulate airflow. If the gate sticks, or carbons up, it will not shut down the Turbo and you will get too much airflow past the O2 sensor.

Having a backfire through the intake and exhaust indicates something is sticking and an engine valve is carbonned up and failing to close. You need to systematically test the items I have mentioned. The more difficult test would be a compression test to see if the valves are sealing.

I have a 1991 dodge stealth dohc and removed th cas sensor with out marking the old one what is the proper way to install the new one.

Marking does not matter that much because you always need to reset the timing anyway.

Here is a link for crank and cam position sensor replacement:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-cas-91-92.htm

And here is one for timing:
http://www.stealth316.com/2-ignition-timing.htm
It is just like any distributor timing except that you have to ground the right test connector, otherwise the ECU will vary the timing based on things like temperature, knock, fuel, etc.

Timing marks for the Dodge 2.4L caravan, 2000

To align both sets of timing marks, turn engine crankshaft to the right with belt on cam and crank. Once you have done this the crankshaft alignment mark (on front of crankshaft gear) will line up with mark to the rear of gear on engine block.The two cam gear timing marks should be alines across from one another. The right cam gear is the intake side and the left side is the exhaust side. After removing the belt turn the exhaust cam down 1/2 notch. Timing mark on exhaust 1/2 notch down from the intake side. Install new belt and recheck everything to make sure it's all correct. Hope this will help you.

It sounds like timing issues or the spark plug sequence is incorrect. To check the timing, remove the number one spark plug. Place a long screwdriver into the spark plug hole. Rotate the engine by using a ratchet and socket on the crankshaft pully nut (clockwise) and watch the screwdriver. When the timing marks in the crankshaft pully are aligned with "O" or "TDC" (top dead center) the screwdriver should be all the way out of the hole, just inside about 1 or 2 inches. If you rotate the crankshaft just a bit the screwdriver will start to go down, back the pully up to the 0 or TDC mark and the screwdriver will go back up. The is the properly timed engine.
Sometimes the engine will skip a couple of teeth due to a worn timing belt. Replace the timing belt and re-time the engine. Good luck, Jim

Won't Start.

These trucks have a problem with the catalytic convertor blocking the exhaust causing a no start condition, the three things you need to start fuel, spark and air. Try disconnecting exhaust in front of cat.
