1. Check for codes.
2. If no codes replace IAC (Inexpensive).
3. If not IAC, run smoke test...it's probably intake manifold gasket.
4. If its neither, take to a mechanic...could be fuel pump, distributor...the list goes on.
replace your Idle control valve. Go to NAPA and get a new one, then replace it.
Most likely cause is low coolant. Check your antifreeze level.
The most common cause is low coolant.
the stratus doesn't have a mass airflow sensor
Yes it could.
No, jumping pins will not cause it to display codes.
when my dodge stratus started to do that it was because I needed transmission fluid.
The cause of a dodge stratus cutting off could depend on what shape the vehicle itself is in. It could be something as simple as a faulty wire connection on the battery and alternator, to something as major as problems with the vehicles computer.
fuel pump?
this could be you're ABS sensor
The timing belt on a 2000 Dodge Stratus 2.5l V6 should be changed every 75,000 miles to prevent premature breakage. If the belt is allowed to fail, it can cause catastrophic damage to the engine.
There may be a puncture or possibly the seal needs replaced.
If the cause of the code was fixed the light would have gone off on its own.
