Replacing a Distributor on 2.5 V-6 Dodge Stratus

I first want to apologize for the low quality of this video, I only had my cell to record video at the time of this repair, with this said there are many frequent failures of the distributors on these 2.5 V-6 cars. I often see the cam sensor (contained inside the distributor) working fine but the ignition coil has failed and will no longer produce spark. I have only been able to get the distributor as a complete unit and not able to replace the coil separately. Not the easiest to get to, but get some things out of the way will make the repair much easier and faster. Took me about an hour to do this. Tools I used, a 8mm wrench for the egr tube screws, 8mm socket and 1/4 ratchet to remove transmission control module, 12mm wrench to remove and tighten rear nut from distributor, 12 mm socket and short extension to remove and install front distributor nut. 13mm wrench to remove air tube retaining bolt on top of the intake manifold. Stubby phillips to remove and install distributor cap. Everything else came off by hand, be careful around plastic vacuum lines as they tend to be brittle as the plastic ages (and was cold). Make sure you hook up everything you take off, I took the brake fluid cap off to get just a little more room to remove and install the distributor, throw a plastic bag over it if you are concerned about knocking dirt or other contamination into it. The distributor I was replacing was pretty clean. A short word about diagnosing this issue, this was a cranking no start. I plugged in a scantool and both cam and crank sensors were present and showed "in-sync" I pulled a plug wire and there was no spark present. This could be an issue with a bad rotor shorted to ground or even a bad distributor cap. Make sure you look at these before ordering parts. If you don't get a cam signal but do have a crank signal, there is a possibilty of a broken timing belt. Pull spark plugs and check compression and you should have at least 100 psi. No compression means a broken belt and 24 bent valves. Not fun to change but have done this before.
