i have a 2003 dodge sx 2.0 and have to keep turning it over to get it to start. Think there is something wrong with the fuel sensor, if there is one where is it?

There is not a sensor but you may have a fuel pressure problem. Check the fuel pressure. Any Advance Auto or Auto Zone will have a fuel pressure test kit on a loaner basis to do the test.
Also here is a diagnostic walk though for your situation. Just use the link belwo;
