Question: What might be the problem

While sitting at the light my car started to loose power. I turned off my A/C and started pumping the accelerator to try to keep it running, but is turned off. I waited for the light to change and tried it again. It was trying to start but wouldn't. I had gas, it was not running hot, the battery is good. I just had the starter replace a week ago. Can you give me idea what it might be.

  I think I'd check the fuel pressure. It sounds like your fuel pump is failing.
  Get it towed to a Dodge specialist for diagnosis and estimate.

• Is there any way to quiet the lifters. They tick quite loudly.
  But not all the time. I read you could put a quart or 2 of Tranny fluid in the crankcase before an oil change (not over filling of course) and it might clean the oil passages. Thanks, Les
