no spark / crank sensor
Just wanted to post for anyone who might have a no start issue like I did on my 99 5.2
No spark, backprobed the CrankSensor and found no 5v signal. Tried looking up how to online and saw all sorts of huge jobs on the Utube involving removing tires, inner fender liners etc.
Found really easy solution - I pulled the washer fluid reservoir, unbolted the Cruise control solenoid (left the cable attached) and pulled the trans dipstick tube - lost 1/2 qt of fluid on the driveway -
4 assorted wobble extensions totaling 20" and a 1/2" swivel socket and I was able to pull it out with a 1/4" ratchet.
Just installed the new one and it runs like a champ!
Hoping this helps anyone with a Durango or Dakota in the same situation.
