Chrysler Sebring Compression Problem

I read one of the other questions from another sebring owner. Car shut down replaced everything and still won't start. You sent him information via PDF to help him. He never replied that he got the car started. I'am having the same problem. And running out of money buying parts. Is there a way to check the alarms system or reprogram the system without going to the dealer. Car is not getting spark from distributor, it's been change, crank relay has been changed, plugs & wires changed ASD is working (clicking ) all fuses checked. Have a used PCM, can I program it myself?

no, leave it alone, it has to be flashed from a dealer and most likely is not the cause as the rest of the parts you have replaced.

start with basics, compression test, fuel pressure and spark.

you said no spark but check the other 2 as well.

Compression 1.85 got 1/2 tank of fuel. I was drive in highway, it just shut down. Put in new distributor, it ran but had a miss, changed plugs and wire it hasn't started since. Rechecked all parts, have taken the manifold off about 10 times now. The only part left is the PCM. It's getting real costly.
