Changing the water pump on the fromt wheel druve cars is hard since there is limited room. Get a manual on your car.
The 2.4 engine is similar to the 2.0 Neon motor. I did a water pump on one of those recently and it runs off of the timing belt. It wasn't a quick and easy job but doable if you have a puller for the crank pulley and patience. You will be working under the right front wheel well a lot. And like mentioned above - get a repair manual. You'll need to re-tension the timing belt.

The diagram for a 2000 Stratus water pump and cooling system is in the Dodge Stratus service manual. The manual can be purchased through most auto parts.
Replace it every 90,000 miles. Also replace the water pump as it is driven by the cam belt.
Right around $600.00. I just had mine done at the Dodge Dealer last month!!
Do not believe there were any Dodge Spirits made until 1989! Dodge Spirits was made from 1989-1995, that's when they was replaced by the Plymouth Breeze and the Dodge Stratus.
