2001 Ram 5.2l Random backfire
Here is my situation.
2001 Ram 1500 5.2L 2WD starting acting up. Shortly after starting and the engine warms up to normal temps the truck will randomly lose power and backfire until it completely dies. In more detail, I can start the truck for about 10-15 min before anything starts happening but after the truck will lose power and start backfiring. Only engine code was P01391 which was "Loss of Cam or Crank Signals". List of things I changed in hopes of solving this and remember I love my truck so this has been bothering me for some time now.
-Crankshaft sensor
-Ignition pick up coil ( Camshaft sensor/Hall Effect sensor) **In distributor**
-Ignition Coil
-Spark Plugs
-Battery
-Fuel Pump (most $$$)
-Had the timing looked at by 2 different mechanics
-Used Carb Cleaner
-Just bought IAC Valve
Any info would be grateful I am so lost
