  My son's 1995 dodge avenger would run perfectly fine for roughly 20 mins. and stall out without warning at a stop light or sign. Motor will crank with lots of power, but no fire. Let the car sit for 1 to 2 hours and the car starts fine, until you drive it for the 20 mins. or so. Took car to the dealership and they changed the computer and so far ... Read More

  I have a 95 avenger ES trust me this is the Answer Its probably just your crank shaft sensor Located in the trans axle under the distributor (kinda looks like a sperm cell...Its black and has a magnet in the head ...not the cam shaft sensor( which is located in the distributor) second... replace your EGR they get clogged all the time. Dont pay for this stuff... just pull it off ... Read More

  I am having the same problem... I have a 95 Dodge Avenger ES 2.5L V6 It will run for about 20 miles then stalls... I can let it sit for an hour or two and it will run and do the same thing. I have already changed the fuel pump, inline fuel filter, and the distributor. I also changed the fuel relay. It seems to stall when then engine gets heated ... Read More

  I know its been awhile since your post but can you tell me where this starter relay is located as my son has a 1995 Avenger as well and we want to try this first but according to the mechanic books looks like it shows under the dash and of course the dealer mechanics said they don't know when we call. We need a number off it to get a new ... Read More

  I have a 1995 Dodge Avenger 2.0 and the alternator went out on it, so i bought one and put it in. When i went to start it all it will do is turn over. I have never had a problem with it firing up. It did sit for a couple days without a battery, and the front end was up in the air the day i was working on it. ... Read More

  Does this car just shut down whenever it feels? Does it stsrt back up right away or no? I bought my daughter a 1995 Avenger, and for a year we couldnt figure out why it would just shut off whenever it feels like. And it generally wouldnt stsrt back up right away, but days later it would! Even the Dodge dealers didnt know anything. So I found on another forum someone ... Read More

  Have a 1995 avenger 4 cyl. 2.0. Have had these starting stalling problems for almost a year. Replaced coil pack, plugs, wires. Still, would start when it wanted, and would shut off when it wanted. I tried tapping on the ASD relay (automatic shutdown relay) and it started right up. (This is responsible for shutting your fuel pump down) Went and bought the $13.00 part and car starts now, but it ... Read More

  PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have a 95 avenger ES coupe and i have one hell of a problem. I first noticed some electrical issues around 70000 miles. I would pull up to say a gas station and have my headlights beaming on the wall. I noticed the headlights were flickering some along with my dome light. Well one day it just decided to stall and not start again. I had the distributor ... Read More

  I had GM products with a similar problem. It turned out to be the solenoid switch in the torque convertor of the transmission. The torque convertor allows your transmission to lock up and get better gas mileage. When you decelerate it should release, but if it doesn't your car will stall when you come to a stop. For the GM cars, it was a $250 fix. I would take the car ... Read More

  My Avenger has over 225,000 miles. Never had any serious problems with this car until it got over 200K. I think I'm having fuel delivery problems. Engine completely stalled at when coming to a stop. It drove OK on the highway but stalled when I came to the exit..started back up and stalled again as I slowed to make a turn. I've read some of the forum notes on stalls and ... Read More

  Lately, my car has been stalling at random intervals. About two months ago, I was at a red light and it was running fine, I hit the accelerator, and it died. I turned it on again just fine, but once again when I touched the gas it died again. It did it for about ten minutes and finally drove just fine. It didn't happen again, until today. Exact same thing. I ... Read More

  I know enough about a Dodge Avenger in order to feel comfortable not recommending one. And, yes, whether you like it or not, Dodges and Mitsus are, in general, not reliable vehicles. You can argue all you want. We'll all appoint you the resident 1995 Dodge Avenger expert. Maybe you can run [unopposed] for President of the National 1995 Dodge Avenger Fanclub. I don't need to revisit CR; I remember what ... Read More
