Water pump
I would like to know if you need to take off the timing belt in order to get to the water pump on a 2002 Dodge avenger

All good things must come to an end, or so the saying goes, and the Avenger is no exception. The 2000 Dodge Avenger is the last year for this sports coupe popular for its snazzy appearance, great handling, and driving enjoyment.
For its last year, the Avenger saw the continuation of the mid-year changes from 1999. The V6, 2.5-liter, 163-horsepower automatic is standard on all models, and base models now feature some of the perks from the ES. Also added as standard features on the base are cruise control, 4-wheel disc brakes, and new upholstery. In 2000, the Avenger ES gets power leather seats and some new colors.
It is still speedy, roomy, and stylish, but the complaints about the transmission and reliability haven't changed over the six years of this car's life. Overall, drivers love this car.
Do not mourn the passing of the Avenger. It is not gone so much as reborn...as the Dodge Stratus. Chrysler discontinued the Avenger when it decided to add a coupe model to its Stratus line.

it is the Sport package first. ok, one day it was running and driving perfectly, i drove it to work, then i go to leave work and it wouldn't start. after changing the distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires and spark plugs (it wasn't getting spark), it is now running but is missing at over about 2200 rpm's in first. any suggestions on what could be wrong?
