2002 dodge stratus 2.7L stalled while driving on the freeway. Once pulled over tried to start the vehicle and I heard a noise coming from the engine as if something was spinning causing my car to shake. The battery is good all lights were on. I replaced the cam, crank sensor, and spark plugs but it is turning over but will not start. Plleeeassse Help
Does it sound normal when it cranks over? Or does it sound like it is crankung faster then usual?
No it doesn't sound normal cause never even tries to crank up.
How many miles are on the engine? What type of oil has been used in it and how often has it been changed?
155 and I use 10W 30. The oil was changed in november. It is changed about ever few months.
I gonna say the timing chain went out. This is unfortunately a common thing with this engine. An easy way to tell is take off a valve cover. You can see the chain at the front of the head when its off. If this is the problem you can expect to replace the heads or some valves at least.
Thank You we are going to check tomorrow.
Let me know what you find.
Ok after taking the head off we evaulated a broken timing chain and it looks the cam froze causing the chain to break cause it is very hard to turn. Needless to say we are going to replace the head and timing chain.. Thanks
best for you to do both heads. and replace all the gears and guides and tensioners for the timing chain.

SOURCE: 2004 stratus won't start
try checking the fuel pump or replace the spark plugs and wires because most dealers put cheapos on them

I will post these one at a time...
p0171:
Basically this means that an oxygen sensor in bank 1 detected a lean condition (too much oxygen in the exhaust). On V6/V8/V10 engines, Bank 1 is the side of the engine that has cylinder #1.
Note: This DTC is very similar to P0174, and in fact your vehicle may show both codes at the same time.
You will more than likely not notice any drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a lack of power, detonation (spark knock), and/or a hesitation/surge on acceleration.
A code P0171 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Possible solutions include:
SOURCE: 1996 dodge stratus stalls upon stopping and imediate starting.
If this happens when you keep your foot off the brake and never come to a complete stop the lock-up clutch in the trans is not releasing. As soon as you come to a full stop the car stalls, right? Idling in neutral or moving the car is fine? Could also be the IAC (Idle Air Control) motor. It's on the throttle body. Clean it and adjust along with the idle speed.

2.4 L?REMOVE CAM SENSOR..CRANK ENGINE..MAKE SURE CAM IS TURNING..IF NOT..TIMING BELT IS BROKEN OR STRIPPED..NEW BELT SHOULD FIX PROBLEM..MAKE SURE YOU CHECK/REPLACE WATER PUMP/IDLER/TENSIONER
