Q: 2000 sebring crank but no start.

asked by on August 23, 2017

Vehicle died while driving. Car turns over but does not start. Has a new distributor, wires and plugs. Has spark. Has new fuel pump and fuel filter. Gas is getting into the lines but I can't check the fuel pressure because you need a special adapter. I swapped around the ASD and Fuel pump fuses and relays with others that I know where working. Starts up for a few seconds with starting fluid. I don't know what to do next and I don't really have the money to take it to a shop.

My car has 135000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
