I will assume there is fuel in the tank if so then i would say the pump is bad or there is a pinched line, a 2001 stratus it may be the pump.

the only other thing would be if the injectors where not working, if you could put a fuel pressure gauge on the injector rail to see if there is any pressure, this will tell you if it is the pump or something else.

SOURCE: im trying to locate the fuse for the fuel pump on my 2001 dodge s

it's likely located in the fuse panel in the engine compartment near the battery. not exactly sure which relay it is... if you are lucky it's marked on the inside bottom of the cover that you have to remove to get to the relays.

SOURCE: cant seem to find the fuel filter on the 2001 dodge stratus

most likely no filter that you can service. most of these chryslers have them in the fuel tank as part of the fuel pump

SOURCE: 1996 Dodge Stratus stalls when starting

I had this problem with my 99 Durango and went to AutoBeef.com to discover this was a major problem with 98 & 99 Durangos. The fix was easy -- PCM "brain" was exchanged with a refurbished PCM "brain" from an online PCM company in Florida. You can google as I can't remember name of company. I called them and they said - Yep this is the fix -- the guys told me 3 screws all I had gone to several mechanics and dealers -- none could figure it out. I was so grateful that someone gave me the clue I needed.

What you need to do is check you fuel pressure. Go to a local auto parts store and buy a fuel injection pressure tester. The pressure fitting is on the top of the motor its a 3/8 ish sized metal line and has a screw on fitting like a tire valve does. This line comes up from the back of the motor to the right of the distributor and goes down into the intake. Make sure to have a rag handy to catch the fuel seepage. After you connect the pressure tester turn the key on and off three times and read the gage you should have atleast 58 pounds of pressure. If you have 56 pounds it won't run because the fuel injectors are a poppit valve style and need atleast 58 pounds of pressure to operate.

SOURCE: Ive got a 2001 vw jetta 2.0 that died while

do you have compression on every cylinder? that may be your problem, that's the suggestion i'll make. pull each spark plug one at a time and do a compression check to make sure you have compression. if you don't have the tool, they are not that expensive to purchase. hope this helps you out!! although, if you do this test and it's good compression, i would lean more towards it could be out of time. meaning it could possibly have jumped time but you said the belt was good, it could have jumped a tooth or two which would mean a no start also.

Make sure it's getting fuel. Try using some ether or starting fluid. If it rumbles to life but doesn't stay running then there's a problem with the fuel delivery system. i.e.... Fuel pump, clogged filter, pressure regulator.... If the ether doesn't change the results you are getting now then it's a fire or sensor problem. Ignition coil, relays, sensors not signaling, PCM... I wish you luck. Let us know how it turns out

2001 dodge stratus 3.0 v6 starts but fuel pump and injectors don't work. What could the problem be?

You would need to check the fuel pump and injector circuits for power.
There is a fuel pump relay and an ASD relay that could be faulty.

01 dodGe stratus. Starts then dies. When it sits overnight I canfire Otho like there wasn't ever a problem but the when I turn it off or even drive for a bit it dies ignores I turn the key off and

Probably loses either gas or spark. So check fuel pressure when it won't start, and check for spark on a plug wire. If fuel pressure is low, probably a bad pump. If no spark, diagnose the ignition system: coils, ignition coil control module (ICM), crank position sensor, etc.

An easy way to see if you lost gas, is to spray carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake while cranking engine. If it rumbles and tries to start, you know it is a fueling problem.

Engine dies at stop&go and in reverse

Check the regulator, fuel pump, fuel filter, etc. If that doesn't fix it, check the transmission.

Car not turning on its turning over but not turning on

The first thing I can think of is to check and see if you are getting fuel to the engine. First I would check the main fuel line. It connects to the fuel injector assembly just beneath the throttle body, which is located on the driver's side of the intake manifold which is the large body of plastic on top of the engine. Where the fuel line connects, there is a small green plastic clip. If there are no obvious problems with the fuel line (disconnected, broken, etc..) then the next most likely problem would be the fuel pump, or more accurately the fuel pump relay. The relay can be found inside the fuse and relay center under the hood on the driver's side. Look on the lid of the fuse box to determine which relay controls the fuel pump (it will be clearly printed on the lid, in a diagram to show it's location). Remove it.&nbsp;<br />If you have a multi-tester, you can follow this guide to test the relay.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPrE1ijfAeA&amp;feature=channel<br /><br />If not, most new relays cost less than $6.00 at your local auto parts store.<br /><br />These are the two most likely causes for your engine not to try to fire. If neither of these resolve the problem, my next guess would be to check the spark plugs. Then I would check the ignition coils.&nbsp;<br /><br />Best of luck.&nbsp;
