Dodge stratus with a 4 cylinder/dual overhd cam has the check engine light on but when chekd it only says that the light is on. It won't acclerate past 2300 rpm. Hesitates and sputters, have chekd the fuel pump and filter, changed plugs and wires, and the coil pak. I have bought a cam shaft position sensor and a crank shaft position sensor hoping that wil do the trick. Any ideas will be appreciated.
