Any codes? Crank and cam sensors are vital and the engine can't run without them. Need to see what the pcm is not getting. If you can get a scanner that reads live data you will be able to see whats going on. Crank sensors usually go before the cam.

Mine has thrown out P0340 & P0320. I replaced the crank sensor about a month ago, cleared that code now this! Still same intermittent start issue (never stalls, only an issue trying to start)

P0340 No Cam Reference Signal at PCM
P0320 No Crank Reference Signal at PCM

It has codes for both crank and cam. What brand sensors are you using? If it's not mopar or delphi don't use it!

The 320 code isn't specific to crank or cam sensors, so in this case it's pointing to cam, since previously i replaced the crank sensor. The camshaft sensor is currently the stock part.

I'm fine with replacing it, it's not expensive, I'd just like to know if anyone else has gone through this specific issue. Keep in mind the "crank no-start" problem has been intermittent since the original crankshaft sensor failed.

It's not? May want to read the description again.

P0320 No Crank Reference Signal at PCM
