Have you followed the wires back from the coil? Chrysler is known for having wire splices that corrode and loose contact. They actually place them in the center of wiring harnesses. You should try following the supply lines backwards to figure out where the power is being lost. If you already changed the pick-up coil, it truly sounds like a corrosion problem.

Does the vehicle try to start?
