Sounds like the CPS. And of course a Mopar one.

 

Stay away from BWD, Junk! Had to put in one of their crank sensors and it started to have issues within a few months. If you don't want to spend the money on oem go with Delphi sensors. They are a supplier to the auto makers. It's possible the oem ones are made by them.

 

BWD= Broken When Delivered, the parts stores will try to tell you BWD is the same as the good line from SMP. Liars!

 

CPS as in crank position sensor? God I hope not! It wasn't hard to change when I had the whole top of the engine off but it's gonna be a pain in the butt replacing it now 😭 I wish I would have known I was wasting my time with parts that were not Mopar 😭😭😭

 

Now I am pretty sure this truck is messing with me lol....my dad brought me home some starting fluid. I had started the truck before he went to the store and it died on its own and wouldn't start back up as usual. So now that I have the starting fluid I started the truck up to let it die so I could do the test. Except now the truck didn't want to die! The truck achieved normal operating temp and stayed running for over a half hour! Drove it in the driveway, turned the truck off and back on several times it started right up every time! My dad is telling me he thinks it's my fuel filter. Sounds like it could be that to me as well. So I guess on my 3 day weekend coming up I am dropping the gas tank and replacing the fuel filter. It and the pump are one unit aren't they?

 

Ok so I let the truck cool down a bit and then started it up and this it died soon after and wouldn't start back up again. I squirted the starting fluid down the throttle body still no start. I had my wife try starting while I held the ignition coil wire above the coil and I had spark!

 

Yes, it’s all one drop in unit.
Get a Delphi pump... the cheapies are hit and miss quality... the last thing you need is to be dropping the tank again for the sake of a few $$

 

It's on top of the fuel tank. I don't see one available on Rock Auto, other than a complete pump assembly. I would try to get it to act up again and narrow down the problem. I haven't heard of many guys with a plugged filter. It's a stupid design.

 

It should've fired then though.

 

It almost sounds like an electrical issue. What brand parts did you use? Are the plugs plain copper or did you use platinum or iridium?
