This is a very common problem....and can be a little difficult to troubleshoot.
How long since a tune up?
My 01 did this same thing at 80k miles..ended up being a bad coil. VERY easy to replace, so don't take it to a dealer unless you don't want to do minor wrench turning.
I first did an entire tune up with new plugs and wires....didn't help at all. I measured the resistance of the ignition coil assembly and found that #3 was reading lower than the rest even though it was "in spec". After replacing it, the van has run for thousands of trouble free miles! Worth every penny...gas mileage went from about 14 back to 19! Paid for itself very quickly.
The shocker in all of this was that after doing MUCH shopping around for a coil, the Dealer was the best price at around $80-90. Even Autozone and others were over that price....go figure.
IF you have not tuned it up in a while, pay the extra for a new set of plug wires and new OEM plugs and have them installed by someone competent. Getting the spark plugs installed at the rear of the 3.8 is not a whole lot of fun. I did it myself, but only because I enjoy working on my vehicles.
GOOD LUCK!

Crank mark is obvious but cam marks arent. There are two notches in the tin timing covers behind the cam gears. At about the 2 oclock positions
Testimonial: "Thanks! Turns out we busted the valves when we tried to turn her over, but this would have been great advice if I had asked before hand."
SOURCE: oil sending unit on 2004 chrysler sebring V6
Should be located close to the oil filter. It will screw in like a spark plug. It has a harness plug. Easy to change, save yourself $70 in labor. You will need a fairly large wrench to remove
