was wondering i got a 02 dakota 4.7 quad cab ran fine for a bit was driving randomly shut off thought it was the fuel pump replaced that turns out i got no spark and got a cam code from it but the coils are getting power any answers need help before i spend to much

 

Is the PCM actually firing the coils? Injectors? If you got a cam sensor code, failed sensor would prevent the engine from running.

 

well i had a test light on the coil wires them self no power when key was on but it flashed when i cranked it, also seen a lot of problems like mine but saying they got a crank code and led to other problems just dont wanna go dumping a bunch of money if i dont have to , but as i said the light came on when i started to crank but still got no spark and wanted more advise on people who know these 4.7s better then my self

 

and just to be sure the cam code that i found online is p0340 all saying cam and thats the only one i got feel like a idiot for asking so meny questions but new to this whole 4.7 thing im use to the chevys

 

Need to address the cam sensor code. Your engine is sequential port fuel injection, PCM needs input from the cam sensor to know which injector to fire. If it doesn't have that info, it doesn't fire any of them.

 

well thank you for the info ! knew the form would help

 

should i replace the crank sensor with that? only 60 for both shipped to my door.

 

For the truly important sensors, you are much better of staying with genuine mopar parts. A fair few of the aftermarket fellers simply don't work as well, and you end up with mystery misfires/codes. Cam and crank sensors are right at the top of that list. You don't necessarily need to buy them from the dealer, you can find them cheaper from various sources online.

 

well i know at my loacl napa there like 80 bucks for one, know of a brand that works? dont wanna go threw a hassle and spend a bunch of money on sensors lol like i said new to this whole dodge thing, normally you wouldnt see that some sensors dont work like that,

 

I have found that dodge has a radically different definition of 'normally' than most any other manufacturer.....

Look it up on some mopar website, doesn't matter which one, I think they all hit the same database anyway. Get the mopar part number, and then do a google search on the number, should turn up quite a few results, and if it is GENUINE Mopar, it'll work. (new please, not used.)
