We have a 2000 Dodge stratus w/ the 2.5L V6 in it. About a month ago it began to miss out and stall sometimes, we replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter, over the last month it has gotten worse, when you start it it takes any where from 2 to 10 tries to get it going. If it hasn't been driven in a few hours it will run fine til you shut it off. If it has been driven on and off it will stall out/ chug and die anytime you let off the gas, stop, or switch gears D/N/R... we replaced the Crank Shaft Sensor, had the timing tested, it was reading no check engine codes or a light, but the computer will read a CL/OL Fault code, in the fuel area, but on the dash if you click over the key a few times where the mileage is it reads "no bus"... dodge told us this could be a computer sensor error causing the issue. Well today on the drive home from the mech, the check engine light came on briefly and the code was PO140. The guy at O'reilly said it is a O2 sensor wiring code, meaning the issues is in the electrical wiring going to the O2 sensor, causing the dying and chugging because the wiring is not telling the O2 sensor what to do. We are trying to fix this as it is our only car and we are looking for any advice we can find on what exactly this issue might be... we have checked and rechecked and dumped money into this... any advice is appreciated!

hopefully you've learned not to buy parts based on assumptions, if you plan on doing these things yourself you have plenty to learn, even the thought process applying the knowledge is important

You aren't going to be able to fix this. The "no bus" means that one of the computers has stopped communication. You're going to need some real expensive equipment to find out any more info.

We did none of these repairs ourselves, we went to a mechanic who has worked on our cars for years. Thanks.
