2001 Dodge Stratus Winding start

This just goes to show how well our cars are made now. This car sat 5 weeks and this is how it ran on its first start. What baffles me is how good 'ol mopar, chevy, caddy, and ford V8's can sit for decades and start up and usually run damn near perfect. Enjoy the show...2001 Dodge Stratus. 2.4L inline 4. 143,288 miles.

DODGE STRATUS R SORRY ASS CARS IF UR THINKING OF BUYING ONE DONT THEY SUCK ASS

[Thomasmen523]

@vinyard420ADED Haha. This was a fleet car. 145k miles in, something goes wrong. I think thats pretty damned good. Not to mention they get spectacular gas mileage and they can't be beaten for size, reliability and their good quality and ride. And what exactly do you drive???

u need a 2.7 v6 not the shitty 4 cylinder

[Thomasmen523]

@MMiiKKee95 Oh you mean the fun but sad sludge ridden 2.7? The one thats really fun, until the poorly designed oil passages fill with gunk, even if properly maintained until the engine is starved of oil and dies? That 2.7 V6? Nah...We'll keep the more dependable 2.4. 167,xxx miles and still running strong.

if it was my dads camry that had sat for 5 weeks it would have fired right up no problem it didnt want to start back for you either

[Thomasmen523]

@schindlerman96 Well. This was in 2009. The car is a 2001. Some how, by the grace of god, the battery in the car at the time was still the one that came from the factory. So it was low on charge and it finally quit back in march of this year.
