It started with just dying coming to a stop and at idle and progressed to dying out of no where while in the throttle. I had replaced the idle air control valve before it progressed then It finally threw a code and I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, now right after replacing it when I started it while at idle it was surging for lack of better words, like cutting out and losing power so I gave it throttle and it made it worse and when I stopped it died and wouldn’t start again. Any help would be much appreciated. I am lost here as I am new to this and trying to learn.

 

What brand crank sensor? What engine? (assuming its a 97 Ram 1500....)

 

yes it’s a 97 1500 318
and I went with master pro as I didn’t have time to get one from the dealer

 

Sometimes the aftermarket sensors cause more problems than they solve.......

Depending on which code you got, some of them don't differentiate between crank, and cam sensors..... Cam sensor is under the distributor cap, and is referred to as the 'pickup coil' at most parts stores.

Is the code coming back?
