Alright so first ill say i have a 94 dodge ram 5.9 4x4.
My truck ran fine until the tranny went out about a month and half ago. So i got a another transmission. But when i went to start it started to back fire and act like the timing was messed up. So i figured that maybe the camshaft sensor or cranks sensor wire got pinched or cut. But no luck. And there are no vaccum leaks. But timing is for sure off.

I did check the votage on the cam sensor and i got a reading on the refrence side of 8.75!!! And its supposed to be 5v.
I checked it at the computer and it was putting out the same amount.

Not really sure where to go from here. I can only assume the computer was bad. But idk what would have fried it. And i dont want to have to spend the money twice.

Any advice or ideas would be grearly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

also truck will not run longer than a few seconds and never well. Turns over but randomly hesitates like its fighting itself.

 

The most common problem after a transmission R&R is a mangled crank position sensor. If you didn't remove it before pulling the old transmission and leave it out until after the new one was fully installed, that's probably what it is.

 

alright ill try replacing that when i have a chance.
Does anyone have an input on why my refrence signal to the cam sensor would be 8.75 volts

Also is there anyway to test crank sensor befor i spend the 50 bucks on a new cranks sensor. Money is tight so i dont just want to throw unnecessary parts at it.
