Hey. I'm new here. I'm from Ohio. Didn't know there was a huge following on these cars, everybody local bashes me because i own one and want to make it something special. Bought my '99 ES totaled for $600 and it's come a long way. lol. Current Mods are only 6000k HID's and 3000k Fogs and an Alpine headunit, oh and tint and a few stickers.. lol. Come spring I'm gonna make a custom exhaust and get a CAI after i relocate the battery to the trunk. I'm only 17 so i;m always down to learn something new. Here are some pictures.

The day i got it home.

Hey RagingSUn, how come your never on AR anymore? lol. and like i said, i'm 17 and can't afford 2 cars so i'm driving it in the snow.. :yes: and i'm from Ashtabula, OH.

I"m throwing a CEL for random multiple missfires right now. I've been trying to figure it out. Ive replaced the Dist. cap and rotar and Crank Angel Sensor because it just wouldn't fire one day. I'm still throwing the code so my next move is going to be plugs and wires. But i've only felt the car sputter once and that was last month, hasn't done it again. So you guys have any clues?

Oh, i do want to know something though. Is there a mod where you can make the fog lights come on with the parking lights? i've seen it done to many other cars but i can't figure it out for my stratus.

welcome to the club. I highly recommend the 6g72. Now that I actually have the money to waste again I've been contemplating buying another strat but I'm leaning more towards paying off the truck and buying a 370z to play with instead.

Plugs and wires are most likely your problem and that's a cheap fix. Not particularly fun to do though.
