Try checking you fuse boxes, and if all of your fuses are fine, then start by looking at wiring for loose connections, bad wires, and if its not that then check the computer of the vehicle, if all else fails take it to a local know mechanic, and not to Canadian tire, or Walmart if you can help it.
After following the normal troubleshooting, as mentioned above, one item to check would be the pick up coil. This item is a known potential problem on some K-cars, especially if the engine has ran for a while then stalls.
start with dist cap and rotor
The dodge Aries was discontinued in 1989, but I would try looking under the passenger side of the car, in front of the rear tire.
you probobly just need to change your spark plugs and wires.
Check for spark at the plugs. Check for fuel to the engine.
There are pages and pages of things that can cause a check engine light. You need to have it checked with a scantool. Then the code can be diagnosed and repaired.
Detonation
My best suggestion would be to buy a snake that eats rats.
Putting in bad fuel can cause theÊengine to buck during acceleration on a 1999 Dodge Durango. There could also be a problem with the fuel filter or dirty spark plugs.
that would be 0.042
So this would cause the car to only run if manually pressing throttle?? Have a 1987 Dodge Aries station wagon
