I have a 98 Stratus ES with a v-6, 2.5 motor...I had all kinda trouble out of it and spend COUNTLESS dollars throwing parts on it....mine did EXACTLY what u are describing. This is what I found out.....the good news is it can be fixed..turns out these cars won't run on the aftermarket distributors...ya gotta put a Dodge distributor on it...mine was getting fuel and spark but no fire...I bought a aftermarket distributor for the thing and it GOT WORSE....turns out ( and here's the BAD news) Dodge gets a ARM and LEG for theirs...I found one in a salvage yard for 150.00...and that fixed it
