2001 dodge stratus will the coil pack spark if the vavles are bent

if your valves are bent ,then i take it your timing belt has snapped .which means your camshaft can not turn ., so you can not get a spark at the plugs.if it was the old distributor you would have been able to check the coil with a spark plug tester the trouble is with a coil pack it is controlled by both sensors and your ECU but due to the camshaft not turning so your camshaft position sensor can not tell the ECU to fire the coil pack.

Let me also say that on my 97 pathfinder it ran good up until i replaced the water pump. then it wouldnt start. so i changed the spark plug wires and plugs. same thing...wants to start just wont fire up....

My first thought was the timing belt was not in time since you have to remove the belt to get to the pump.
The crank sensor is near the flywheel so it should not have been touched.
But timing should not affect the spark coming out of the coil.
It could be a problem with the resistor for the coil or something with the computer.
Did you also replace the cap and rotor when you changed the distributor ? Is the spark weak coming out of the coil ?
You may have to get a used shop manual from Ebay to get the test procedures and wiring diagram for the ignition system.

My car will crank over but will not start.

Try some starting fluid spray,If you get no reaction at all you might have a broken or slipped timming belt.
Look inside the timming belt cover housing if you can.
Look to see if the belt is there or if it moves while someone cranks the engine.
Good luck,pls. vote for this answer

Balance shaft belt broke, This caused timing belt to jump time Replaced both timing belt and balance belt,Reset timing but found there is no spark at spark plugs Replaced distribitor , But still no spark....

Remove distributor cap temporarily showing the rotor,. Have some one hit the starter switch and crank engine. Observe rotor turning. If not, a gear or coupling on the crank shaft is either stripped or disengaged.

Remove valve cover and see if valves are cycling. If not, camshaft is broken and needs to be replaced. Consider a new short block.

If rotor doesn't turn, there will be no spark.

How do i change the timing belt on a 04 dodge stratus not sure if thats the full problem the engine cranks and wants to start but no spark any ideas?

timing belt will not affect spark. If you don't have spark, recommend you focus there first, because timing belt is a big job. Use a test light to see if there is power to the coil with key on. If no power at coil, check ignition fuse and relay. If you have power but no spark coming from the coil, the problem is the coil or the ignition modulator. Any questions, please reply.

Starting

You need four things to get combustion in the engine - proper timing, air, spark, and fuel. First, check for an engine error code. If there is none, check for spark by pulling out a spark plug wire and place the lead near a ground. If you have a spark while the engine turns over, then that's one component down. If you don't, check the coil for a spark. If you don't get it there, replace the coil. Similarly, check the fuel filter and air filter. If nothing's turning up, then look at the timing belt.
