I'm having the same problem with my 91 RT/TT. I have not found the problem yet, but from researching the 'Net, most likely the problem is traced to a sensor, bad spark plug wires/plugs, or a vacuum leak. I was told by a mechanic to start with the plugs and wires, if the problem persists, next step is check for a vacuum leak, and finally, check the sensors. I ran my car through a computer code check (because I have the check engine light coming on) and it indicated a bad O2 sensor, which would not cause the problem. Does your problem occur when going at a steady speed, then accelerating slightly, and it feels like the car is bogging down, or detonating/misfiring? That's the problem I am having. On my next days off, the plugs and wires will be changed. My neighbour thinks it is a vacuum leak, though, the way it idles.

I had same problem-cleaned out the carb put on cool air intake, new k&n filter, oil change and she purrs like a kitten.Spark plugs do need a changing and 02 sensor could cause that it did on my other car wouldn't pass etest(I am from Canada) changed the o2 sensor and new catalytic converter and runs perfect.

this could also occur if engine is not warmed up yet

That switch is for the transmission. the stealth came with optional tranny settings for power and economy. gas is better with the economy setting but you have more power and torque with the other setting. this switch also improves your shifting speed to increase acceleration.


Where is the Ignition Control Module located in a 1992 base model Dodge Stealth?

On a 1992 Dodge Stealth Base model with a 3.0 Liter Engine It is located in the base of the Distributer, it has four wires connected to it via a molded plug. this is a source of many problems with a 1992 Stealth. The plug is located right next to the Power steering High presure hose, and on my stealth was chafed in two. It is very hard to see this problem until it is unplugged from distributer.
