01 Stratus..starts than dies..than wont start.

Ok..I know this aint a mitsu..but it has a mitsu motor. lol.

01 Dodge Stratus coupe..Mitsu 3.0 V6. around 168,000 miles.

The problem with the car is..It will start, run poorly, than just die. After that it will not restart. It attempts to but just will not fire off.

The owner says he changed plugs, wires, cap and rotor. And they do look fairly new. The only thing I have done to the car was change the timing belt..it was horrid. And I replaced the fuel pump.

So far I have checked for both spark and power to the fuel pump. When the car runs there is 13.6 volts at the fuel pump. The power never goes down until the car dies. Than while cranking it will have 10.5 to 11 volts.

The car does have spark during the no start situation. And it will attempt to fire but just wont take off..Kinda acts like its out of fuel. But its not. And the injectors are firing.

I am kinda at a loss on this one. I have been racking my brain on what it could be. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh..Obviously..car is comparable to the 3g eclipse with the v6 and an auto.
