ok i went to turn on my truck before and i got a check engine code and the truck just stalled it self. the code i was p0320 what the heck would cause this?? ? code says its a ignition sensor where would i start to look?

 

The '01 FSM lists it twice. Both point to a bad crankshaft position sensor. What engine do you have?

P0320 - No crank reference signal at PCM.
No reference signal (crankshaft position sensor) detected
during engine cranking.

OR

P0320 No RPM Signal to PCM (Crankshaft Position Sensor Signal to JTEC)
A CKP signal has not been detected at the PCM.

 

i have the 4.7L
so pretty much i need to check the sensors to the crankshaft ? ?

 

It's located on the RH rear side of the engine block, just under one of the freeze plugs.

There isn't much to check. Make sure the connector is clean.

$20-30 or so at Rockauto.

 

and don't break it off!

 

thx for the info


00Dakdan RH = right head correct so i look in the right place?

 

btw what would be a good cleaner to use on the connector if it is dirty?

 

Right hand - on the block, not the head. Just below the freeze plug.

I'd use electrical contact cleaner from the auto parts store.

 

ok thx

 

I'd replace it, fairly cheap and easy if I remember right. Mine did this twice both times after I went through the car wash. It would start but I had to feather the gas to start it like it was an old carbed motor. I replaced the cam and crankshaft position sensors and it hasn't happened since, I think I was pulling 2 codes, that one sounds familiar though.
