1992 Dodge Stealth ES 3.0 DOHC

Summary:

Fast and reliable, but not a winter car

Faults:

Replaced one CV joint at 100,000.

Main computer corroded at 138,000.

General Comments:

Superb car. I hesitated for years about getting a Stealth or 3000GT, but the car has performed perfectly.

Just recently the main computer corroded, but I got it rebuilt for $150.00, and a CV joint needed replacing, which was $60.00 plus labor.

It's a very fast comfortable car. If you are looking to get one, go for the DOHC engine because the SOHC engine is about 100 HP less and is a real junk motor.

The only problem is these cars use and need premium fuel. If you think you can buy one and run it on mid-grade, you need to get another car because all you will do is ruin the motor and get bad fuel economy. I get between 24 and 28 mpg using premium.

You also have to respect these cars because they can be a handful in the wet, and impossible to drive in the snow because of the 8 inch wide tires. These are not winter cars, and even in the wet if you give the car too much gas it will over-steer and put you in a situation that's hard to correct. I would not recommend a Stealth or Mitsubishi 3000gt for a 1st car or young teenager.

I have a daughter that inherited our 92 Stealth V6 DOHC. This car has never given any trouble until she got it.

It started dying after it gets hot. Runs great until it gets hot and then it sputters and dies. Let it cool and it will run again for a while until it gets hot. We put a new ECU in it and that did not solve the problem. Needless to say the Dodge dealership recommended the crank angle sensor and that was not it either. So if you figure this out let me know for it has been to 4 mechanics and they cannot figure out why it is doing this.

I had a similar problem. Always started right up first thing in the day, but would get very temperamental once the engine was warm. It wouldn't stall once it was rolling, but I had to keep revving it at stoplights, and if I turned it off, look out! Would not usually start again until it cooled off (20 minutes or more). So I had to leave it running if I went in to a convenience store, etc. Or else plan on staying longer than 20 minutes. Finally was fixed by just replacing a sensor. Sorry I don't know which one, but the mechanic said something about the computer was thinking it was extremely, extremely cold out and was trying to compensate. Worked great after that.

There might a problem vapor lock. I had a Lincoln that had that problem; the fuel was boiling, causing it to not start until it cooled down. I'm taking a guess that it will help you. Another car, when it got hot, it would do the same thing; it was the coil pack. I have a 92 Dodge Stealth & a 95 3000; never had that problem, both have about 170,000 miles on them. Love these cars; hope you find the problem.
