Should be on bottom tank/corner/driver's side. Looks like a plastic key. If it's a replacement with no petcock, you will have to pull lower hose.
Where is the egr valve located on a 2.4L 2003 dodge stratus?
If you have looked for the EGR valve and cannot find one you may not have one, you may have an emission package that does not use the EGR valve. I would suggest getting it looked at to see if your car has this package.

How do you remove the side view mirror on a 2004 Dodge Stratus?
To remove the door panel on your 01-06 Dodge Stratus you would first need to remove the door panel.
Then there are two bolts that hold the mirror to the door. You will need an 8MM socket or wrench to remove these from the mirror.
I have included an instructional video below that walks you through this entire process.
Hope this helps.

How do you replace a battery in a 2001 Dodge Stratus?
The battery is located near the driver's side front tire, directly under the jumper points in the engine. Step 1: Remove the front driver's side tire. Set the emergency brake. Remove the hubcap and loosen the lug nuts. Place the jack under the frame and crank the handle until the tire is off the ground. Remove the lug nuts, place them somewhere where they won't get lost, and remove the tire. Step 2: Remove the front of the wheel well cover. Remove the two bolts holding the front of the wheel well cover to the front bumper. I used a 6 mm socket wrench. It looks like there may have been three of these originally. Possibly a previous owner or mechanic lost one of mine. Remove the plastic bolts holding the front of the wheel well cover to the other parts of the cover. These look like a bolt with a washer. In reality, the center part is a plunger that pushes out the sides of the outer bolt. The trick is to hold the washer thing in place while pulling out the plunger. They sell a special tool for this that looks like a long two pronged fork. I used a serving fork from my silverware tray that worked fine. I removed five of these fasteners, but there were some additional holes where other ones may have been originally. Remove the front wheel well cover. I had to pry back the bumper a little ways to get this out. Step 3: Remove the battery. Being careful not to short out the battery and electrocute yourself, remove the positive and negative battery terminals. Remove the bolt at the bottom of the arm covering the battery, and the nut on top. I used a 13 mm socket wrench. Slide the battery out of the car. I had to use a crowbar to break the ice that had frozen underneath the battery. If you do this, be careful not to break the battery. Step 4: Replace the battery. Bring your old battery to the store and buy a new one. Place it back where the old one was. Replace the arm and bolt, tightening top and bottom. Replace the negative and positive battery terminals, being careful not to short out the battery and electrocute yourself. Test new battery before going further. Step 5: Replace the wheel well cover. Replace front wheel well cover, using the plastic fasteners with the plungers to hold it in place, then putting in the screws attaching it to the front bumper. Step 6: Replace the tire. Put the tire back on, then the lug nuts. Tighten in a star pattern. Lower the tire and remove the jack, then tighten again. Drive a mile or two then tighten one last time. Step 7: Clean up. Clean any tools that may have gotten battery acid on them. Put your tools away and wash your hands. Update this answer with any additional information you discovered while replacing your battery.
Where is the water pump located on a 2000 Dodge stratus?
Bad news...It is part of the timing belt system. It is just above the crank shaft damper. You have to take the whole front apart practically. Really worth getting a repair estimate. You should replace your timing belt and other two belts while you are at it. PS check you thermostat if you are overheating just in case....
How do you replace the oil pump on a Dodge Caravan 3.3 engine?
Most Dodge Caravan's don't have a replaceable oil pump. The oil pump is built in to the engine block and can only be rebuilt. The best (and fairly cheap) way to identify if your pump needs work is to put a manual gauge on the engine at the oil pressure switch. It is located near the bottom of the engine block with a screw in fitting and 2 wires off of it. It is not a hard job to replace the pump and most DIY mechanics can do it easily in about 2.5 to 3 hours. In reply to the answer above, synthetics cause more harm than good. FYI once you use a synthetic oil, it is impossible to go back to conventional oil without a complete engine rebuild. Synthetic oil wears gaskets, o-rings, and other seals much faster than conventional oil due to the chemicals in the synthetic oil. It is always safer to stick to the manufacturer's recommended oil, usually 5w-20 or 10w-30.
Does a 1995 Dodge Intrepid 3.3 motor fit into a 1999 Dodge Intrepid?
No, you need a 2.7, or preferably a 3.2 or 3.5 liter between 1998 to 2004 for this car. It will probably cost more than the car is worth to replace the motor at this point.

Why are your radiator fans not coming on after coolant gets hot 2004 stratus V6?
This could be due to a bad temperature sensor, radiator cooling fan relay, or possibly even the radiator fan itself. Try tapping on the radiator fan to see if it starts to move while the vehicle is at normal operating temperature. If nothing then find temp sensor and unplug and jumper the electric connection with a paper clip to see if fan starts. If fan starts then replace the temp sensor. If fan does not start then suspect either bad fuse or bad relay.

Where are the spark plugs on a 1999 dodge stratus?
What size motor? I have a 1999 Stratus 2.5 liter (6 cyl) and I am taking it to the dealer to have it done since I decided that I didn't want to mess with it. If that is the engine size that you have and you decide that want to do it, you have to remove the intake manifold to get to them. I don't know where you live but where I live it is going to cost me $165.00 for a tune-up but I'm tired of working on cars and figure that it's worth it, this cost may make you decide to do it yourself though.
