Old School Bewildered
Working on 2001 Durango 4.7 OHC Auto 174000 miles. Son driving on highway only about 10 miles from home Durango overheats & shuts down (he said temp gauge never pegged & he knows we need to know all) would not restart even after cool down. I stop on the way home try to start it & ah I've heard that no compression sound & the little puff out the exhaust periodically all to many times. get it home, pull it down crank sprocket @ 6 idler sprocket @ 12 cam sprockets (both banks) V8 @ 12 R L & alignment holes dead nuts across. Now like I said I'm old school self taught shade tree. so I get stumped on some of these newer vehicles on some things. So help me be this boys hero one more time (even though he's 35)...55. Thanks for your time

OK, sorry been out of town working. got it all back together compression test fine, had it running once but it sounded out of time & hard starting. like i said old school if this was happening on a distributor engine i would move the distributor. so is this what the crank or cam sensor replaces? the cam sensor controls spark & injectors correct but works in conjunction with the crank sensor ? oh don't remember if the check engine light was on & battery has been diconnected since then. Thnx
