Default 98 sebring here I go again wont start plz any one

This is a 98 sebring 2.5 v6 A while back it would not start no spark.
Changed the distributor and it fixed the no start.
Then was driven down the road stopped at the stop sign, turned to go and of course dropped the front drivers wheel right off it took out my drive Axel had to replace the lower control arm and the drive Axel what a pain.
Drove it for about a week Then just sitting there idleing the blower fan ALL by its self starts blowing out the defrosters then the floor board then the vents (had the heater going )and just kept changing by its self . It did stop doing that by the way. Then I went home the next day went out to the garage to leave and nothing ! turn the key nothing no click no nothing so I put the charger to it .It started right up. Drove up town just sitting there idling and it just slowly shut off! and will Not restart. there is no spark again. How could it be the distributor again?????? It turns over just fine but wont start and no spark. NOT to whin but Iam a single mom and I do all my auto work myself but this one is just really #@!%*#! off I need my car and can not take it to a shop please anyone help me with this and thank you so much in advance T.C.

I got it out of a junk yard and I have no way of checking the codes I tried checking the codes by watching the check engine light but it must not work on this year.

Well, because you bought the last one from a salvage yard. But I will say i've seen about the same longevity from aftermarket reman ones.

So on the other problem with this motor.
Why would the blower fan (by its self ) blow from the defroster to the vent to the floor to the vent back to the defrosters to the floor and then to floor and wouldnt stop doing that until I shut off the fan And while the blower was doing that . That is when the engine just slowly stopped. and wouldnt start again.I was just sitting there idling in park when this all took place . Is it possible the two are related????

also I was told that bad wires could take out my distributor is there any truth to that? And I noticed that #3 and #5 wire is a bit greenish the end that goes on the distributor I cleaned them up but it still misses bad like I said under a load all the wires are on in order what should I check ? Thank you so much for your time

Get new wires. Wires are important.
