I think I'd find all the ground connections in the engine harness and controller, clean them and reseat.

Unplug the connectors and inspect for any corrosion, clean and reconnect.

The one issue I had on my '05 5.7 Ram was the crank position sensor. It would start fine cold and after warming up it might stumble a bit or just die on me. Wait a short time and it would start again. Must have took a good half hour twisting and working back and forth with penetrating oil to remove it without breaking it off. Anti-seized the new one. No issues since.

Default 2002 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7L

i have been having to replace the cps and crank sensor every year when it gets cold. this year i replaced both and now I have all cylinders miss firing. All but cylinder 5. It also shows that that i have several codes for the coils. i did just replace all of them last summer. Any ideas?
