Question 98 Stratus 2.4,interference starting issue

Okay new here and I'm hoping someone can help...
98 Dodge Stratus, 2.4, interference engine Vin X
The timing belt broke (at a very very low speed so not worried about the valves yet). Replaced timing belt, water pump, Idler pully, plugs, wires and camshaft sensor. When I go to start it it seem to have initial spark and then runs like it's free spinning with no spark. I'm wondering if replacing the crankshaft sensor will fix this or is there something more i need to do with the timing marks? Someone said I needed to hook this up to a computer to get the timing lined up right but everything I have read doesnt say anything about that. Can someone please help me with some ideas, sugestion or anything to get this monster running? I have attached a picture of the way the timing should look and have had it spot on but still have the same issues..
