have you cleaned the rotor button and made sure the ignition gap is all right inside and you ignition condenser is working
sorry about that it doesnt have a distributer its a coil pack
I have a 2002 Sebring with a V6. If you replace the oil filter sometimes the oil filter seal sticks to the engine and oil will leak between the new filter seal the the seal stuck to the engine. Check to see if you have oil. There is a plastic fitting at the top of the V6 with sensors on it and heater and overflow tank hoses attach to it. If it cracks and leaks you will loose your antifreeze. Check your radiator to see if you have coolant in your radiator. Also check your radiator and heater hoses for leaks.
