Verify you have spark, those are known to have issues with the camshaft sensor in the distributor. I have put 2 distributors in my daughter's 97 sebring jxi, did the same thing.
Make sure you have spark and fuel. when you first turn the key to the "ON" position you should be able to hear the fuel pump whirr or run for about 3 seconds to prime the fuel system, if not you need to check the fuel pump fuse and the fuel pump relay to make sure the fuel pump is getting power when you turn the key on. If you can hear the pump run and do have fuel pressure, then you need to make sure the engine has spark. You can do this by removing a spark plug from the engine and putting it back into the plug wire, make sure the metal bottom of the plug is touching a metal part of the engine and have someone crank on the engine while watching the gap in the electrode of the plug. You should have a very sharp blue spark jump the gap in the electrode. If you have no spark or a weak orange looking spark then I would look to the crank sensor or the coil.
I would hope there is no hole under the back seat with access to the gas tank. I'm sure that would be a potential health hazard. Every electronic fuel pump I've seen you have to drain the fuel and remove the tank. It is not a fun job. I would take it to a mechanic. If you make a mistake with it you can very easily damage the fuel pump or a seal and cause a leak.
Some of the Sebrings have two filters(one is called a sock).The sock(which all sebrings have) is located in the fuel tank itself on the pump module.If this model is the JXI then the external filter is located on the belly of the car between the tank and drivers rear seat. I hope I could help!!!
