I checked the resistances on the primary and secondary contacts and the values were what the spec called for.
There is 12 volts at the harness going to the distributor.
My advice to anyone else is to use synthetic oil and engine sealant additives. Also the transmission sensor is known to go bad on this car.
I have same issue with my 99 stratus. Just cuts out like someone shut off fuel no spit or sputter just dead . but it will idle all day long.but when you put in gear and need power it will just shut off.. aAll I did so far was change fuel filter and air filter..
oh and few weeks before I had shop put new timming belt on..sorry.. but I can drive then when it does it I sit fore while then it starts back up and I can go..till it does it again..
You could have a loose wrist pin. One way to check that is disconnect the spark plug (or short it out) for that cylinder. If the noise immediately doubles in frequency, then it's a wrist pin.
It could also be "piston slap", which is not necessarily something to worry about on a high mileage engine.
