I drove my dakota to work... when i went to leave it would crank but not fire... i was low on gas but added some thinking i may have been out... i can hear the pump activating...i tryed adding fuel through the throtle body but still nothing

 

Did it at least try to chug or anything when you force-fed it fuel?

If not, sounds like coil doesn't want to fire.

 

Nope...just kept crankin

 

something electrical then. Any codes?

 

Checking tomorrow... a code tripped a few days ago then the light went off and hasnt came back on since

 

I have a cam pos sensor code and a throtle pos code

 

Yeahhh Its probably your cam sensor, that would fire the spark plugs at a different time than it should. Can you figure out which side of the engine the code is registered for? or does it just tell you that there is a problem?

 

Mason, what size motor is it? Like Urban said, it's probably the cam sensor, but the throttle position sensor probably isn't helping things.

I believe on the pushrod motors, the cam sensor is inside the distributor. Not sure where it is on the *.7 engine family.

 

In the .7 family it is in the front of head since its a SOHC Motor.

 

that's what I thought but wasn't sure.
