Chrysler Cirrus 12 volt Problem

Just had a distributor and cap, crank sensor put in about 500 miles ago, had it warming up yesterday, it died, started it and went about 300 feet and died and won't start, tried spraying ether but wouldn't hit, that' all I have done. All parts are new

Measure the voltage on the dark green / orange wire at the ignition coil or any injector. You should see 12 volts there for one second after turning on the ignition switch, then it should come back during engine cranking.
