I have a 2001 dodge stratus r/t. When its cold it runs fine but when it warms up it idles extremely rough and dies at stop signs. You have to keep on the gas. I'm sure its one of the sensors but not sure which one. Which sensor is located in the exhaust. Idles rough when its warm but runs good when its cold. Also when its warm it will die at stop signs. I'm pretty sure its a sensor. Not sure which one but curious which sensor is in the exhaust directly below the engine.

The sensor in the exhaust is the o2 sensor. Do you have codes?
