1st time posting in this section. my old dakota treats me pretty well. In the past week however I am having a stalling and occ. starting issue. I've replaced the fuel pump and the ignition coil. I believe the Crank position sensor is on the fritz. but need some input. I scanned the computer today cause the CEL came on. shut the truck off and re-started and the light went out. Scanned it anyway and had 2 codes. One was a PO403 which was also a 032? and also had a 011 code. which was ignition referance signal. Anyone have any thoughts? Are the dakotas like the rams as in the Crank positon sensor works the ignition and the Cam position sensor does the fuel timing? Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

 

The engine is the same as the Rams and 3.9 V6 is the same as the 5.2 just -2 cly.

Sounds like your timing chain is over stretched.

11** Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more from initial learned value, Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor, No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking

32** EGR Solenoid circuit short or open condition detected

43** Multiple/ single cylinder misfire

 

Thanks for the help. Sounds like I should replace the timing chain then? Is it possible that a bad crank sensor would cause these issues as well?
