Chrysler Repair: car not firing, chrysler sebring coupe, pulley bolt

Question
i have a 1998 chrysler sebring coupe lxi, 5 cylinder, 2.5 engine that is not firing. i have changed the rotor and still nothing. my next step is to change the coil relay. do you think that's what i should do? if so, where is the coil relay for this car? do you have any diagrams showing where it's located?

Answer
Hi rb,
The 'coil relay' is actually called the automatic shutdown relay (ASD) because it also  powers the oxygen sensor and the fuel pump. If you hear the fuel pump run for about 1 second when you first turn the ignition switch to the 'run' position then that would verify that the ASD relay is OK, that is normal. If not, then you can check the relay which is mounted on the firewall of the engine comparment in front of the driver position.  
If it is the case that the pump is running for 1 second, then the real question is why isn't the relay closing again when you start cranking it over(you can verify that by checking for 12V on the black/red wire at the relay)? For the ASD relay to close it has to be activated by the engine controller, and the engine controller will only do that if it is getting pusled signals from the crank sensor (is mounted at the seam between the engine and transmission on the back side of the engine, just above the trans housing (it has a 3-wire plug)) and from the cam sensor (located in the distributor). I suspect that one or the other of those sensors is not working. If you had a fault code reader you could tell which. Another way is to measure for voltage pulsing on each sensor while you turn the crankshaft with a ratchet on the crank pulley bolt, and the ignition switch in the 'run' position. You will find the wires for the cam sensor on the 6-wire plug of the distributor (pins 1,2,3), and the crank sensor has its own plug.  Pin 2 (yellow) of both is an 8V power line for the crystal. The signal that pulses would be seen by measuring between pins 1 and 3 of each sensor. You can take a fine straight pin and probe through the insulation to reach the internal wire. As you turn the engine you should observe the voltage to pulse between 5V and 0.3V several times per rotation. So I would check for that as cause of your no spark first.
