my 1998 dodge stratus has the abs light on now. i was told that everything
should work fine other than the abs part of the brakes. the car now is
starting hard and acts like it's not getting enough fuel when i punch it. if
i work the linkage under the hood, and do it real fast , it will bog right
down and die. if i do it gradual it will then accelerate. i'm getting
12.6vdc before starting car and 14vdc once the car starts. i can gear the
fuel pump making noise when the key is in the on position but it's hard to
hear once it's running,but i assume it's working because the car seems at
times it's getting gas. i have a new fuel filter in this car. there are no
codes present and taking the battery cable off didn't clear the abs code.
any suggestions please? thanks Randy

Time to check the fuel pressure and volume.
May be a problemn with the MAP sensor as well.
Is the check engine light on?
