Check the wiring that runs near the coil. There are a few thin wires in the group that become frail..move them around while someone is turning the key. You may be surprised.
have the coolant temp sensor checked, if it is faulty the computer will think it is -40 when starting and running and add more fuel acording to the ambient temperature.
The crank position sensor on a 1993-1997 intrepid is located on the passenger side of the transmission bell housing ( top ) breeze to change and usally fixes the cold starting issue with these automobiles ( usally ) for $40 or less it is worth a try!!!!!
Check your Ground connetions from the battery to frame and frame to battery also check your battery to see if the cables are clean and you have no resistance, There should not be more than .2 ohms resistance on any ground. As well check the chargeing output of the altanator. is it less than 13.5 volts or above 14.5 volts? if so then you need to see if the battery has a shorted cell, and test battery voltage. These are all things that you can do yourself for free. then we can go to the next step. You can also go to this web site and get the repair manual online and look this up and see if there is a recall on this problem. One last thing it also could be a crank bearing going out. Did you set the correct air gap on it? Let me know if you need more help and thanks for using Fix-ya, if this helped please rate.

Check to see if you have any rpms on your tachometer in the car during engine crank. If you do sensor is probably fine but if your needle doesn't move at all sensor is bad. Your problem might be the same as mine at the coil pack/module connector. Four wire connector that was not getting a good connection. I got very lucky to have found this.
I had a very similar problem as most did on this stalling out, no start, and no spark on my 1994 Dodge Intrepid 3.3L V6. I was told to watch my Tachometer in the car to see if it moved at all while cranking the engine over. It did not move. So that told me the crankshaft sensor was not picking up any signal what so ever. I changed it. The engine immediately started. So I left the engine run for approx. 25 minutes then the engine died. I had again lost spark but had minor RPM on the tachometer during engine crank. I dug thru all the wiring harnesses and found that when I moved the connector to the Coil pack/Module the engine would start. I got the problem narrowed down to the connector but have not replaced it yet. I put a little slack in the harness the wires run in so the harness is not pulling on the connector. This has seemed to solve the problem for me. At least for now. [email protected]
Check the voltage on your battery with a voltmeter should be at least 12 volts without any power hooked up to it.
Pull a spark plug wire off of the coil, have someone crank the starter and hold the plug wire very close to the coil (same place you pulled the wire from) to see if there is a spark. Be careful and stay away from the engine will it is cranking
Charge the battery.
Check altenator belt and connections.
warm the car or battery (can you get the car in your garage?)
