First off I'm a noob at this site, and sorry off starting a new thread. I couldn't find just what I was looking for.
I have 2003 Ram 1500, 3.7. My engine just dies. It looks like so far mainly after long highway driving. At one time I found that my oil was really low. Added what I needed. The most part everything was just fine going back and forth to work. Went on a service call across the state and on the way back it started acting up. Its like the ignition is cutting off and takes sometime to get it started up again.
Checked what I could, and nothing jump out for me. Yes, I intermittenly see the check engine light come on. Had it checked sometime ago, and the code was referring to the cat needing to be changed.
Any suggestions would be great!

 

so with an 03, what maintenance have you done? changed plugs? air filters? plug wires? injection cleaner? cleaned throttle body?

also, whatever codes you are getting you need to post them

 

I have the codes:
P0841
P0871
P0340
P1299
P1391
I'm probably due for some maintenace now.

 

Define probably?

 

true dat!!

Thanks for directing me. I found what the codes mean. The one that jumps out at me is the CAMSHAFT Sensor. The one code1299 refers to a vacuum leak, IAC Fully seated. The othe two refer to the Transmission sensors. Those I might need someone else to look at.
I'm going to replace the camshaft sensor anyway, and look around for some vacuum leaks.
Thanks again Lenny

Replaced the camshaft sensor yesterday and went out on a service call from the Orlando area to Tampa. After a long drive, the engine would start cutting out and quit. The samething on the way back. It would not start up right away either, And would keep quitting until I made it home. The codes that come up are:
P0841
P0871
There transmission related. Would this be causing my problem
The simple fix would be changing the fluid and filter.
Short distances from home to work are fine.
Any thoughs Anybody??
