It will not fire. I have changed the cam-shaft sensor and the crank-shaft sensor.

If you are not getting spark, it could be a bad coil pack. The best thing to do is to do a computer scan, rather than just randomly replacing parts.
Are you sure it is a spark problem? Check to be sure that you are getting fuel. On the front top of the engine is a fuel rail, towards the passenger side of the engine. There is a Schroeder valve where you can check fuel pressure. Depress the valve core and see if you have fuel pressure!
The most common problem with that vehicle is the fuel pump.

Is it getting spark? You could have a multitude of issues going on here. If you changed the cam AND crankshaft sensors, make sure that you installed them with the correct "air gap". Just like spark plugs, they need to be gapped for clearance. If you have spark, good job on the install. Don't worry about ignition modules. Dodge products have the ignition module contained in the computer. What about fuel?? Is the fuel pump working? If you can hear the fuel pump, you will need a set of noid lights; yes, I said NOID lights, to check to see if the injectors are getting an impulse from the computer. Check to see if you have fuel at the pressure regulator.If you cannot hear the fuel pump when you turn the key on, have someone try starting the car for you while you bang on the bottom of the fuel tank with a brass hammer. Don't tap; BANG, but don't dent. This is an indication that your fuel pump has died and will need to be replaced. If, when you bang on the tank, and nothing happens, check the connector with a digital volt/ ohm meter to see if you have current there. These are just a few of the issues you need to look at. Good luck!

When was the last time you changed your fuel filter? A clogged fuel line will lower fuel pressure to the injectors. Also, those vehicles are known for bad coil packs. Pull 2 plug wires off and crank your engine over, if you see spark jumping between the 2 terminals, your coil is ok... just simple test.

well first off, I dont know what "jeff s" is thinking about. you absoutely DO NOT want to spray starting fluid in your engine. just by chance if it does fire and too much is in there (which it doesnt take much at all ) you will blow the head gaskets right out from under the head. If it is not firing, i would start looking at the ignition system components. the best thing to do is have a computer scan done.

check you ignition modual and your coil pack the modual shoud be under it or in that area if that dont work then check your switch but dont spend a lot of money on parts till you find the reason and i would not trust using starting fluid on a fuel injected motor if you have to much pressure in your lines you can damage the injectors and you will spend more money then you want

check the computer it is the brains of the dodge family of front wheel drive cars the computer turns on the fuel system and spark system so if it is not working nothing else will either

Are you sure it is not firing? Spray starting fluid in it. Be sure. If it isn't firing...check for your pulse coming into the coils. If it's not there...you have a computer problem....good luck.

What is the fuel pressure?
