OUR 97 SEBRING CONVERTIBLE WON'T START. WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, BUT IT WON'T START WITH A FULLY CHARGED BATTERY. IT TURNS OVER, BUT WON'T START. THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING ON OUR CARPORT IN FLORIDA FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX WEEKS.

Try doing below and see what happens

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing.

Fuel pump and Injector/s checks out-start checking the ignition system-power to coil, coil/s itself, distributor pick-up, control module, Cam and Crankshaft sensors.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time
