New battery, 05 stratus stalls.

Asked by Kylie Apr 23, 2019 at 10:19 PM about the 2005 Dodge Stratus SXT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Just changed my battery today, drove around for around 30
minutes but noticed a rougher idle than normal. Spark
plugs were changed a week prior also. Headlights stayed
on, dash lights stayed on, even radio stayed on but car
stalled out in drive. I turned off all accessories and gave it
one more try before pushing it to a parking spot, it cranked
so I threw it in drive and gassed it to a parking spot really
quick.
