maybe the dodge motor is a chrysler 660?

You need to find a way to read or get any codes out of the computer. If it's going into limp mode, it'll tell you why. If you can't do that then find a PCM from another good running stratus from the same year. If it still happens then it's a transmission issue (assuming the engine's fine).

i THINK with chryslers, if you switch the key from off to on 5 times within 5 seconds, it will flash codes through the SES light...

what the codes mean, i have no clue.

If it's anything close to the tranny in my sisters Caravan the solenoid pack is external. I have a friend who had a Caravan as well, and one of the shift solenoids went out completely so he only had 1st and 2nd until changing that solenoid pack ($150 or $200, I forgot which).
