I have a 2.2 Turbo Lancer ES. So it has a mopar stage 2 computer. I start it up in the morning and it runs out fine. after about a mile of driving a light on the cluster lights up and says "power loss". I know about cars but the 2.2 is new to me. What does this light indicate. I have a odd miss at idle. The miss isnt constant at all. Maybe every 2-3 revolutions of the crank from what i can tell. Just seeing if anyone has a clue on what that light is trying to say. Thanks in advance!

Power Loss was Chrysler's choice of words for a check engine light.
Turn your ignition switch on-off-on-off-on (without starting the engine). Watch the light for a sequence of flashes. blink (pause) blink blink (pause) blink blink blink blink blink (pause) blink blink blink blink blink indicates codes 12 & 55. 12 means that your battery has been unhooked recently (normal) 55 is end of sequence. This is just an example, your codes may be different, but 55 is always there.
