I have a 1995 Dodge Stealth NON-Turbo. I know they made three "models", with the best one being the Twin Turbo. Mine is the middle class you could say.

My question is about the "Power/Economy" button in the car. The owner's manual just says the button is used to activate the Turbo charger, but mine doesn't have one. I know the car gets better gas mileage when in "Economy" mode, and when i switch it over to "Power" the acceleration is nearly tripled. What is causing this? My Stealth doesn't have a Turbo Charger, so is it something to do with the transmision, or maybe something with the fuel injectors? I have no clue. My current knowledge about cars is pretty limited.

I'm asking because this button has recently stopped working. There's supposed to be a "Power" light to come on when you switch it over, but it doesn't anymore. And the extra acceleration is gone too. I've been too busy to get to a mechanic yet, but i thought it might be nice to get some idea of what it might be.

Thanks for the help!
