Default Threw a code this morning.. help

I threw a P0320 this morning on my way home from my buddies house.

"No crank reference signal detected by PCM"

Any ideas or help on what this means?

mine has done that once bout a year ago just reset it, idk what the deal is with chrystler products, they like to throw random codes... my jeep was the same way , no other car ive had throws so many random codes...i think they make the computer WAY sensitive so that people will go to the dealer more...

Yeah I figured i'd just clean up the sensor and reset it, and if it comes back again, look into it more. Just making sure its nothing seriously dangerous to worry about.

If you have the 4.7 motor replace both crank and cam sensors. cam sensor is on the right head and crank is also on the right side of the block near the starter.
