I have a 2000 Sebring JXi ,,CHECK to see if you have spark,I had the same problem I changed the spark plugs,timing belt and water pump and it didn't start,so if you dont have spark it very well maybe your Distributor or a relay

The belt might be turning but one of the CAMs may not be. If someone forgot to tighten one or both of the cam sprocket bolts, it could have sheared off a pin in one of the camshafts. Seen it done many times. Whoever did the water pump would have had to take it off to get the rear cover off to get to the water pump. No promises, just going by history and logic here.

That's the valve cover seals over the spark plug bores. Very common and easy to do.
