How do you install a timing belt on a 2001 Dodge Stratus 2.4 liter engine with dual overhead cams?

You go to the auto parts store where you were going to buy the timing belt anyway, and you pick up a service manual for your particular car... they usually cost $15-20, which is pretty cheap compared to how much you're going to save over having a mechanic do it.

Then you follow the instructions in the service manual.

We can't really tell you in detail here, because we can't include diagrams, pictures, and so on like the service manual can.

If you need special tools (the service manual will generally tell you if you do), at least some auto parts stores have a loaner program where you can basically borrow or rent specialized tools for a day.

My 2001 dodge stratus is misfiring while I am at a steady speed I have recently replaced my computer got a new timing belt and water pump got new spark plugs and wires and the engine light isn't on?

Could possibly be the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recycle) valve is sticking. I had this problem and it almost feels like the engine hiccups. Drove me crazy. I replaced spark plugs, wires, timing belt, etc. before figuring it out. The EGR valve is for emissions control only so you don't need it. To test to see if it's the problem just disconnect it and drive around to see if the problem has gone away. You'll probably get some check engine light if you drive without it, but plugging it back in should should clear that. Hope your problem is as simple as that. Part costs ~$100 and I replaced it myself.
