I have a 2000 stratus with 53000 miles on it. I recently had a dodge dealership replace my fuel tank when i go to the gas station and fuel up the car will not make it away from the pump before it stalls out then runs really bad for about 15 minutes then runs fine until i fuel up again. last week i fueled up and car ran fine for a few days now it want to stall out at traffic lights but when i accelerate its starts to lurch and sputter until i hit the gas then it runs fine until i coast or stop again let car sit at work and it runs fine.took it back to dealership and they cant find anything wrong with it. no check engine light or anything i even replaced the fuel cap thinking this was the problem but still runs bad. please any one.

I'd change the fuel filter first, then get the davis diagnostic chip that can record 75 hours of all the engine parameters when it runs like crap. then connect the chip to your home pc and print out the charts, and show them to the incompetent dealer.

autozone.com has the davis chip, and its on the counter at the stores too.
