98 Sebring Conv. 2.5- I wash the car in the driveway, finished, pulled it into the street with no problem. Went to start it about an hour later, wouldn't start and ran down the battery. I pulled my truck over and jumped it and after a while got it started. It ran real rough when I gave it some gas and ran fine at idle. Pulled the jumpers off moved the truck out of the way and went to move the car, as soon as I put it in gear it stalled and hasn't started since. After getting it in the driveway I went to work on it.
First I had no spark, replaced the crank position sensor (had problems about 3 week ago with it) still no spark. I put a code reader on it and gave a code for the cam position sensor. Replaced the distributor with the cam sensor built into it. Replaced the throttle position sensor.
Now I have spark (on the front 3 cylinders) checked them by pulling the plugs and with the wires on them and grounded them (when the plugs were pulled they were wet with fuel), pulled the fuel line off and cranked it, got fuel. Pulled the timing covers and checked the timing which is dead on, swapped the emergency shut down relay with a good one, swapped the fuel pump relay with a good one and checked all the fuses.
I also tried it with starting fluid in the intake and in the cylinders.
What else can I check!!! This is driving me NUTS!!!

If you have both spark and fuel, it should start. What kind of fuel pressure do you have? If it's just dribbling out, it may not be enough. Should be something like 55 psi to be effective.
98 Sebring, Spark & fuel, wont start
