To bad with the crank sensor. At least the old one was f'd up. So far, you have reported 43, 45 and 49lbs pressure. And you say the needle on the gauge was erratic. Some thing is not right there obviously. I'm sure CM will be back with some further assistance on the subject. Meanwhile, if the thing is running crappy and missing, I find it hard to believe there are no codes. Just for S's and G's, try unscrewing the precat o2 leave it hanging and see how it runs.

I'm just curious, does the CEL come on momentarily when you turn the key to just the on position? (not start)

Still have that O'Reilys cam sensor in there? Did you add an O'Reilly's crank sensor into the mix as well?

As I said before, the dodges seems to be extremely sensitive to aftermarket sensors, especially the 'important' ones, cam and crank sensors..... There are many many threads on here with reports of folks have trouble after doing a repair, only to find that replacing some sensor or other with one from the dealer solved the issue. Sure, you pay more for the part, but, you also (supposedly) get a higher quality part.
