You still might want to look at the crank and cam sensors, verify first that you have spark by observing one of the spark plugs removed from the block and grounded against the block while you crank, if you have spark you may be able to eliminate that aspect, verify fuel pressure at the manifold also. you did a good job of eliminating fuel and spark as the culprit, but those steps might finish the job, what's left? Air, check the throttle plate and idle sensors, also the maf for detection of air flow.

i have a 96 dodge avenger 2.5 and it keeps blowing my ignition switch. any idea why?
replace it. when they go bad you can't fix them.
Check your Idle Air Control Motor located under neath the Throttle Position Sensor.
You have not provided enough info, I recomend you have it checked by a knowlegable person.
The dealership would be a good place to start.
Changing a thermostat on a 2008 Dodge Avenger can be difficult because there area two thermostats. One is located under the intake manifold inside a housing unit, and the second is at the end of the radiator hose.
If you follow the bottom hose on your radiator it will lead you to it. You will have to remove 3 bolts on the thermostat housing to get to it but it should only take you about 20 minutes to change it out.
I did this last week on my 99 avenger. What you want to do is remove the air intake and the battery, they get in the way and make it hard to remove the covering. Next remove 4 bolts from the place where the thermostat is. mine was directly on the right of the engine. Take out the screws and remove the old thermostat. Insert new one and put everything back where you got it.

under the housing where the lower radiator hose hooks to the engine
