I have a 2001 dodge stratus with the 3.0L. It was running rough with a misfire code. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel pump. I have spark, I have fuel. It wont run. Not even fire. After replacing pump it ran for awhile. Later that day we shut it off and now it wont start again. Help please

I get a yellow spark. Any further away than 3/16 of an inch then no spark. It has a new cap and rotor and plug wires. Possibly coil in the distributor?
