04 chrysler Sebring coupe won't crank unless I hold gas

Standard practice is check for spark at each plug when you crank. If you're getting spark, then check for fuel getting to cylinders.

in other words you press down on the gas to get it started then you take your foot off and the car dies? or still runs

you might want to change the thermostat and make sure there is no air in the system,make sure all the air is properly bleed out of the cooling system.also make sure that the cooling fan at the rad is working properly.if this doesn`t correct this have a combustion gas test done on the cooling system.

see if the cam is turning when trying to start the engine (look through the oil filler cap) if its not, you may have a broken timing belt (and engine damage) if it wasn't empty on the fuel gauge I doubt it ran out of gas.

check battery out and battery connections real close

THE CLICK IS THE STARTER SOLENOID, ALL THE CRANKING HAS BURNED THE CONTACTS, REPLACE THE SOLENOID, IT IS MOUNTED ON THE STARTER.

I would check if it is in the gas tank on that model. you can go to your local parts store and they should be able to inform you of this.
