Ok so I got a 98 stratus with a 2.4L auto trans it cranks over fine but pops through the intake and wont run for more than a second. I have checked for spark and fuel both of which are fine I also have tried a new crank and cam sensor aswell as new plugs, the timing belt was replaced 3000km ago. and it has 90-100 psi of compression first stroke on all cylendars and 150-170 psi in 4 strokes. the catalytic converter is also intact the only thing I havent tried yet is a new pcm. any ideas???

 

Ok so after a day and a half of head scratching we finally found something. The dowel pin between the cam and gear snaped letting the exhaust cam "adjust" itself as it wished

 

glad you found your problem...if you need anymore help let us know.
