1998 Dakota won't start
98 Dakota 3.9L w/auto tranny. After replacing tranny, was able to drive it about 3 miles and it acted like it had timing and or ignition issues, ran really rough and died. Threw code for crankshaft position sensor, replaced it and nothing happened, would turn over but wouldn't start. Replaced the sensor a second time (thinking the new one might be faulty) and the CPS sensor went away and the camshaft position sensor circuit bank 1 sensor 1 was present. After replacing said camshaft position sensor under the newly replaced distributor cap and rotor, the p0340 code never went away. The truck will turn over but will not start. Verified spark and could smell fuel from the carb but no fire. NOTE: After replacing tranny I also replaced MAP sensor, TPS sensor, dist. cap and rotor, plugs, wires and boots, coil pack and battery terminal connectors. Thinking the ECM might be bad but don't know how to test this. Any ideas?

P0340 - no cam signal at PCM. Without that there is no fuel sync. The cam and crank position sensors use the same 5 volt supply and sensor ground. Check the harness carefully for any damage especially near the exhaust manifold (CKP).
Why did you replace all those sensors? Were there other faults?
Suggestion, use ONLY OEM sensors. There are many in this forum that have had problems with aftermarket sensors.

I'm assuming he means throttle body.
