95 Ram 1500 - Stalls after driving 10 min.
ok, first time here..and I need help! This has been a TWO WEEK issue and it's not over as of tonite.
I have a 95 D-R 1500 - 5.9
Problem: Stalls after engine is warmed up - won't restart until cool, then can drive another 10 min. or so.
What I have tried:
COIL
CRANKSHAFT SENSOR
MODULATOR/STATOR
DIESTRIBUTOR CAP
THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR
GUTTED OUT THE CAT AND WELDED BACK ON
Codes coming up before and after:
12 - chk ground connection on battery
37 - TCC/3 -4 pack voltage out of range @ tranny temp sensor
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME. I can't keep buying all these parts and they have done NOTHING - PLUS pay the mechanic for 'his' suggestions and work. Mechanic says that little to NO spark when hot to plugs. He has tried almost everything he can think of.
ps: I LOVE my truck

Many sensors can cause this. They are all mostly small units packed in an epoxy resin & they can crack internally. Heat expands that crack, causing a break in the wire, but contracts when cold meaning it runs ok for a bit. Gotta trace the sensor in question. I would say crank or cam sensor could be at fault here.

dhvaughan: I haven't tried the O2 sensor. Will today for sure. I'm honestly at my wit's end here.
peshewa: I changed the crank sensor-no luck. Cam sensor is on my list of things to try as my trans. gasket needs to be changed anyhow
Thank you BOTH for your ideas. I hope all this works! ~gail

cam sensor
yes, the flat disk thing has been replaced..I was wrong on that..I am trying to keep track of what he replaces..in fact he had to put another one b'cuz the parts store said the 1st one could have been bad. On another note..I googled the location of the CAM sensor and found it said the cam sensor was IN the distibutor.
I am so confused now. ALSO..no, he did not change the rotor..don't know why.

In the older style dist with the points and condensers the plate in the bottom that held the small wedge shaped counter weights was call the 'stator plate'. Some of the terminology has carried over to today's electronic dist. The cam sensor is also sometimes referred to the 'hall effect sensor' depending on the make of the vehicle.
