Having trouble starting, when it does start it only runs for a short time?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! With your 2005 Dodge Stratus, starting and then quickly stalling could be a sign of a few different issues. Since it’s been happening for a couple of months, I’d start by checking the fuel pump, fuel filter, or even the crankshaft position sensor. These components can cause the engine to cut out if they’re failing. Another possibility could be an issue with the anti-theft system, which can shut the car down if it thinks something’s up. If you need any further advice or want help finding a trusted RepairPal shop in your area, please feel free to call us at 877-913-1554!
