Question
98 sebring lxi/ car was running fine i changed the back brakes and now the engine turns over but does not seem to be getting fuel/ do i need to reset fuel injection button and where is it?

Answer
Hi Rachel,
Are you saying that the engine failed to start immediately after the brakes were changed in which case you need to review what was changed in that process that could cause this seeming unrelated result? Or was this just coincidental a few uses of the car after the brake job was fininshed?
I would be interested to know if you have checked for spark at a spark plug becasue that is more central and fundamental engine function. Here is how you do that if it hasn't been done:
To test for spark, remove a cap from one of the spark plugs by holding on to the connector cap and pulling on it (don't pull on the wire). Then use a screwdriver (a philips head is better than a flat blade tip) with a plastic handle to probe inside the cap so that the tip touches the internal wire deep inside which normally touches the tip of the spark plug. Then hold the screwdriver by its plastic handle in one hand and the cap in the other hand so that you maitain the connection between the internal wire and the tip of the screwdriver. Move the assembly to be within 1/4 inch of a main metal part of the engine such as the cylinder head. Have a helper then try to start the car while you hold that position of 1/4" distance and observe whether during the cranking a spark jumps between the shaft of the screwdriver and the engine metal surface. Let me know that test result.
There is no fuel injection reset button. The fuel injection will not occur, nor will a spark, unless two sensors are functioning. The way to easily tell is to readout the engine computer for fault codes. Unfortunately the '98 model year was the time when the self-readout (via the ignition key and check engine light)* of the computer came to an end. You may be able to borrow such a reader from an Autozone or similar parts store. If you can get a fault code that would be the most efficient way to solve this. There is a plug under the dash into which the reader is inserted, just to the right of the base of the steering column. So see if you can find a reader and then let me know of any codes that come out.

*You could nonetheless give it a try. Just turn the ignition key "on-off-on-off-on and leave on" within an elapsed time of 5 seconds or less. Then watch for the check engine light which will be "on" to begin to flash, pause, flash, etc. Count the number of flashes before each pause and keep track of them; repeat to be sure you have the numbers correctly. If the check engine light doesn't do this, then try again and see if anything shows up in the odometer window. If nothing there either, then you need to get a external reader and plug it in.
