Spark plug wires

it would still start even with two crossed over

Make sure the spark plugs are properly gapped (this will cause misfires). Replace all spark plugs wires!! Insure there is no oil inside the spark plug chamber.

My 05 Town & Country has three coil packs (V6), I imagine the Stratus does the same. Plugs should be fairly easy to replace, do one at a time so that you don't cross the plug wires. I think this is an aluminum head, so use anti-seize compound on the new plugs and do NOT cross thread or overtighten them. On the T&C, the three rear-side plugs have to be reached from underneath, but on the Stratus you should be able to reach them from the top, due to the longer hood.

Here is the firing order diagram for that vehicle, and if the ignition wires are not crossed then one of the spark plugs might have been damaged while installing it and the spark plug gap closed on one of the spark plugs, or one of the ignition wires (spark plug wires) has been damaged, and if those wires are over 5 years old then you should replace them. I hope that this helps you to solve your problem.

you shouldnt need a diagram there should be numbers on the tension leads coming from the distibutor and numbers on the engine block near the spark plugs just match the numbers and the leads are usually different lengths, also the distibutor cap has to be in the correct position if not it is basically the same as crossing the wires and putting them in the wrong spot which will stuff up the firing order

Remove the securing bolt for the spark generator--each plug has one--I think it is 10mm-then withdraw the unit and the spark plug is way down there--you may have to remove the cross brace to access No 3 I think it is.

did you gap the spark plugs ?
