1999 dodge stratus. Engine light started to go on.

Question

208,000 miles 2.4 engine. Slight smell of antifreeze in car. Air conditioning does not work.

Answer 1

if you can smell the anti freeze in the car it may be the heater core that's busted on it,check the coolant level and see if its low,chances are it will be,if this does turn out to be a heater core it will be a big job replacing it on that one,but you can bypass the heater core until you can replace it by joining the two heater hoses together,that will work as a temporary fix,you need to keep a real close watch on the coolant level though that could be more than a heater core leaking on that one,they was also popular for head gaskets blowing out on them,good luck.

Answer 2
