I would start with the rotor and cap. I just worked on one and it was the distributor was bad.

If you need to remove it and rplace it heres how.

Distributor Removal and Installation REMOVAL

  1. Remove bolt holding air inlet resonator to intake manifold.
  2. Loosen clamps holding air cleaner cover to air cleaner housing.
  3. Remove PCV make-up air hose from air inlet tube.
  4. Loosen hose clamp at throttle body.
  5. Remove air inlet tube, resonator and air cleaner cover.
  6. Remove EGR tube.
  7. Remove spark plug cables from distributor cap.
  8. Loosen distributor cap hold-down screws and remove cap.
  9. Mark rotor position for installation reference, then remove rotor.
  10. Remove two harness connectors from distributor.
  11. Remove two sets of distributor hold-down nuts and washers from studs.
  12. Remove bolt and spark plug cable mounting bracket from top of distributor housing.
  13. Remove bolt and transaxle dipstick tube.
  14. Carefully remove distributor from engine.
INSTALLATION
  1. Install rotor on shaft.
  2. Position distributor in engine and ensure O-ring is properly seated on distributor. Replace O-ring if it is cracked or nicked.
  3. Carefully engage distributor drive with slotted end of camshaft. When the distributor is installed properly, the rotor will be in line with previously marked line on air intake plenum.
  4. If engine was cranked while distributor was removed, establish proper relationship between distributor shaft and No. 1 piston position as follows:
    1. Rotate crankshaft until number one piston is at top of compression stroke.
    2. Rotate rotor to No. 1 rotor terminal.
    3. Lower distributor into opening, engaging distributor drive with drive on camshaft. With distributor fully seated on engine, rotor should be under No. 1 terminal.
  1. Install distributor hold-down washers and nuts. Torque to 9 ft-lbs .
  2. Install spark plug cable bracket.
  3. Install two harness connectors to distributor.
  4. Install distributor cap.
  5. Install transaxle dipstick tube.
  6. Install EGR tube to intake manifold. Torque bolts to 8 ft-lbs .

1996 Dodge Stratus 2.4 4cyl., no start, no spark or injector pulse.
There are a few possible causes for a 1996 Dodge Stratus 2.4 4cyl. engine not starting and experiencing a lack of spark or injector pulse:
  1. Faulty ignition switch: The ignition switch is responsible for activating the electrical system when the key is turned to the "on" position. If the ignition switch is faulty, it could prevent the engine from starting.
  2. Failed crankshaft position sensor: The crankshaft position sensor is responsible for sending a signal to the engine control module (ECM) indicating the position of the crankshaft. If the sensor is faulty, it could prevent the engine from starting.
  3. Failed engine control module (ECM): The ECM is responsible for controlling the engine's ignition and fuel systems. If the ECM is faulty, it could prevent the engine from starting.
  4. Failed fuel pump: If the fuel pump is not functioning properly, it may not be able to deliver fuel to the engine, causing it to not start.
To diagnose the problem, you could try checking the ignition switch, crankshaft position sensor, and ECM for any visible problems or faults. You could also try checking the fuel pump and fuel pressure to ensure that fuel is being delivered to the engine. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to call a professional for further assistance.

1997 dodge stratus wont start has no spark and no trouble codes.
The automatic shutdown (ASD) relay will turn off power to the coil(s) and fuel injectors if the PCM is not receiving a signal from the crankshaft position sensor. You can check the ASD relay, but the problem is almost always a crankshaft position sensor or the wiring/connectors between the PCM and that sensor.

Where does the crank angle sensor go on a 1990 dodge daytona es turbo and what does it do
crank angle sensor, Crank position sensor ,reads the position in degrees of the crankshaft. When the sensor reads a set point on the crankshaft it sends a signal to the ECM(CPU) program which then triggers the spark for that positioned cylinder. It also triggers the injector to squirt. Without it the CPU will not know when to set the spark or injector so nothing works.It is constant for all ECM controlled engines regardless. Further the cam shaft position sensor sends a signal to the cpu telling it that the valves are in the correct position for spark,fuel. When the cam belt/chain breaks there is no position regestired so the spark and fuel are shut off

99 stratus 2.5 v-6/no spark.will crank over.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - 2.5L

REMOVAL
  1. Remove speed control servo from driver's side strut tower.
  2. Remove crankshaft position sensor retaining bolt Crankshaft Position Sensor
  3. Pull crankshaft position sensor straight up out of the transaxle housing.
  4. (Disconnect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector from the wiring harness connector.
INSTALLATION - ADJUSTABLE All vehicles will be equipped with an adjustable crankshaft position sensor. This can be identified by an elongated mounting hole in the sensor.
NOTE: If the removed sensor is to be reinstalled, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A NEW SPACER must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, confirm that the paper spacer is attached to the face of the new sensor Crankshaft Position Sensor and Spacer
  1. Install sensor in transaxle and push sensor down until contact is made with the drive plate. While holding the sensor in this position, install and tighten the retaining bolt to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque.
  2. Connect crankshaft position sensor electrical connector to the wiring harness connector.
  3. Attach connector to heater tube bracket.
  4. Install speed control servo. Tighten nuts to 9 N·m (80 in. lbs.) torque.

2000 dodge stratus 2.4 DOHC no spark, will not start. While attempting to start would sometimes get a spark from #1 but very random. No spark on the other cylinders
the biggest thing to cause a no spark or erratic spark is the crankshaft position sensor . their is a test .but the sensor is not to costly it more economical to just replace it.http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/2000-Dodge-Stratus/Crankshaft-Position-Sensor/_/N-je5euZ8znbj?filterByKeyWord=crankshaft+sensor&fromString=search

A 2004 Dodge stratus with the 4 cylinder that will not start
code p 16 refers to crankshaft position/cam shaft position bank 1 sensor A--correlation====causes ---wiring---CKP sensor ( crankshaft position sensor )---mechanical fault

code p 0340 refers to -camshaft (CMP) sensor A bank 1 circuit malfunction ===causes wiring--CMP sensor--ECM
cosrs nothing to check the timing belt , just remove the oil filler cap and see if the rockers are moving when turning it over
the clue here may be bewteen the 2 codes , the word correlation and circuit malfunction so check the wiring, harness connections for pin corrosion and then substitute the ECM with a know good unit as the correlarion and circuit malfunction could be in the ECM
if the ECM program is not getting good reports for both sensors then it reasons that the piston and cam shaft are not timed properly and so will not allow it to start
