I have a 1997 Dodge Intrepid the motor is a 3.5 liter with approximatively 270.000km the car ran beautifully until i went to put gas into it and 20 minutes later the car just died. I went to turn it back on all it does is start for a second then spit and spudder then dies. We took it to our local mechanic nothing wrong with the fuel filter Or anything we can see. he said he thinks its something to do with the wiring. We checked and even got a new computer for it and still a no go. If anyone has any ideas whats wrong with it Your be my best friend haha!!.. Thanks Richard

The only way anyone is going to be able to help you is if you can tell them what is missing...
Your engine requires Fuel, Ignition, Compression, and Timing to run. One or more of these is missing. Since your vehicle is an OBD II compatible vehicle, the logical starting point would be to scan your engine computer and see if there are any fault codes stored. If there are, then you must diagnose the fault codes first. If there are no fault codes, then you must do manual testing of your fuel system, ignition system, and to check compression and timing.
As you now know, having wasted time and money on a computer, it does absolutely no good to start replacing parts until proper diagnosis has PROVEN the parts to be defective.

I have a 1997 dodge avenger es 2.5 liter here's

Check the vacuum line on the fuel pressure regulator for any sign of gas being sucked into the line. A failed regulator will let extra gas get into the engine. If it's okay, have the fuel pressure checked. That's sure a lot of gas, way too much for the engine. Good luck.

Is the water pump on 02 dodge interpid 2.2 ran by

If you mean the 2.7 liter V6 (I think the Intrepid only came with the 2.7 or 3.5 liter V6), the answer is yes. The water pump is driven by the timing chain.

Is a 1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.5 a high out put motor?

It ain't a viper , but it has quite a good amount of power.
Pulls a intrepid good if you step on it.
Have been told that the 3.5 is a bit sketchy , may throw a rod out the side of the block more often than the 3.3
