Low octane fuel, use a higher octane fuel.
Low fuel pressure, check fuel pressure. If low replace filter, fuel pump or pressure regulator.
Vacuum leak, check inlet manifold for air leaks and broken or cracked hoses.

This procedure is wayyyy to long to list on here. Your better off going to your local auto parts store and buying a repair manual for your car. It will have both detailed procedures for fixing both of your items. You can also goto the library and get the factory service manual for free. Good luck to you and thanks for using fixya!

Sincerely,

SOURCE: MAF Sensor 2004 Dodge Stratus

If your car has a MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, it would be located in the air delivery tube that runs from the air filter box to the throttle plate assembly on the intake manifold. It will have a wiring connector going to it, also. The MAF does exactly what it is called: It "senses" the volume, or "mass" of the air-flow; thusly it needs to be in the intake air tube. If you do NOT have such a device in the air-tube, you have a MAP sensor, (Manifold Absolute Pressure); this is another way of measuring the same air volume, albeit older technology. You will commonly find this device on the firewall, with a vacuum line running to the intake manifold.

I hope that this sheds some light on your question.

Thanks for choosing FixYa for advice!

My dodge stratus knocks when i accelerate what could it be?

Is the knocking coming from inside the engine or does it sound more like something external. Could be a rod knock or as simple as sensor. take a hose the you can hold and pin point where the noise is coming from.

What is the cam bolt tightening pattern on a 1997 Dodge Stratus 2.4L DOHC?

Sorry about the crude diagram. But each pair of vertical numbers represents a 6mm bearing cap bolt and the tightening sequence on both cams, tighten these to 106 inch pounds. The x's represent the 8mm bolts tighten these to 21 foot pounds. Also you need to apply sealant to the bearing caps with the x's. Hope this helps.

Can'tfind a starter for a dodge stratus 1997

If it is the Dodge Stratus 1997 with the 2.4L SFI DOHC 4 cylinder engine, then Autozone has the starter for $127.99 with a $62.00 core charge. I just checked and it is shown as available, so they should be able to get it for you. Hope this helped and best wishes.
