Won’t start 2004 crossfire 11,300 miles
replaced the CPS, Battery, RCM. Turns over, no fire. Ground is good. Fuses good, going to pull fuel filter next. I would start it every month, my husband got sick and it sat
I know stupid. Any suggestions? All replaced with Bosch parts.

It amazes me, but there is a fuse that power JUST the spark plugs. In nine years on here, I"ve heard of it blowing just twice.
If I were you, I"d check that fuse. Fuse 11 in the underhood (driver's side) fuse box in 2005 SRTs (and I think Limiteds - gotta be careful, they moved things around in the fuse box over the years and between SRT/Limited/Base models - make sure you look at the card under the lid for the right fuse).

Re: Won’t start 2004 crossfire 11,300 miles
Once the engine is turning,you need air, fuel and spark.
I assume you are trying to start the car on the earth, so air should not be a problem.
You can always grab an old (or brand new) spark plug, yank a plug wire off, plug the loose spark plug on it and maybe ground said spark plug to the block with vice grips - turn engine over - the the plug firing? If not, fix that!
THEN, if you have spark, have someone turn the key to "ON" - for only a few seconds, you should have 55 psi of fuel pressure. This can be measured at the little valve on the end of the fuel rail.
That's how I'd go about it. If you find you have low or now fuel pressure, or no spark at all, you can go from there.

I'm not so sure I DON"T like the starting fluid idea. We had it around all the time 40 years ago, and if you ever sprayed it in the intake while cranking and DID NOT notice the engine sputter, you had a good idea that there was no spark.
