Default 01 sebring wont start

my dd is a 01 chrysler sebring. 100k on the clock. it was running great until one day it just cut off while i was driving. now it wont start. ive narrowed it to be a fuel problem. i changed the fuel pump, still got nothing. so i took the intake off to see if the injectors were firing. well only two injectors are firing. #2 an #6.. so i changed all the injectors, same thing, only the two would fire. so than i changed the wiring around, example, i took the wire from 6 an put it on 1,3,5 an 4 an than they fired. so i figured well maybe my wire harness is shot. went and got another wire harness. well same thing only two injectors fire an if you switch the wire around they all fire..
im stumped i need help
ps this car does not have a fuel filter so its not that.
please and thank you

Not trying to be rude but you should have paid a technician a diagnostic fee. It looks like you've already spent 5 times over that throwing parts at it. You're in over your head. PCM injector drivers may be faulty then again your ditributor could be bad.

if U dont know what in injector driver is then give it up no one on here has time to teach u electronics 101

all cars have a fuel filter of some sort now if its built into the fuel pump or a separate serviceable one they still have one.

What engine size do u have?

a 3000 gts does have an injector driver all fuel injected cars have them electronics 101 here I go gonna do what I said I was not a driver is either a low side or high side driver controlled by a computer. Chrysler fuel injectors are low side which means there is power to them all the time via ASD relay and the pcm controls the ground by pulsing them for the amount of time needed to keep them open for what ever mili seconds the car needs. a High side driver is just the opposite ground is there all the time and the power is pulsed or turned on as needed.


so tell me again that a Stealth does not have injector drivers.

OK, I thought since you mentioned a Spark Plug Wire in your first post you had a 2.5 in a coupe....because 2.7 doesn't have wires. Please start over with your story.
