My check engine light came on saying cylinder 4 was missing. The next day pulled the spark plug wire out drove it 4 feet to get it out the mud it died. Now wont start. I just replaced all plug wires and spark plugs today still will not turn over its a 2000 dodge stratus v6? What could be the problem

You're describing three different things. It started with a misfire, then a no-start, and now a no-crank condition. Which one should we start with?

I have seen the crankshaft angle sensor cause a misfire and for the engine not to start. This sensor will not leave a code most of the times when it fails. Also, please go over this video

Here is the location for the sensor. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
