My '02 5.9L Durango (that I bought 5 weeks ago) drove me to work and left me stranded in the parking lot. Cranked fine but would not start. Changed the crank sensor and distributor pick up but no luck. Had it towed to the guy that sold it to me who changed the crank sensor and the distributor pick up and it started right up. Picked the car up and drove about 100 miles when it died. Cranks fine but will not start.
Any ideas????

 

Check for fuel and spark.

 

Checked for that the first time and it had fuel but no spark. Changed the cam sensor and the distributor pick-up, but still no good. Brought it to my local guy who changed the same two parts and it started right up. He said might have been a bad sensor out of the box. When it died the second time brought it back to him and he changed out the computer. Seems to be running OK for now. Should I be worried about the wiring harness?

 

Clean all the battery connections off really good with a wire brush. Bad battery connections, or even a weak battery, can cause all kinds of goofy intermittent issues with the computers.

 

Thanks "Guy"
I did notice that the positive cable is kind of wonky. BTW I dig the color of your's.

 

I can't say for sure that will be your issue, but there's a good chance it is. And thanks, I sure do like the intense blue.

 

Might be a coil, cap and rotor, battery, or fuel pump going out.
