Default 99' stratus dying, recurring codes.

Hi all Dodge guys, I am a new guy here, but a devout dodge car and truck guy and a decent mechanic. I have the following problem happening and need a 2nd or 3rd opinion.

1999 stratus 2.0 SOHC 5 spd man trans.

Car was dying randomly and intermittently about 6 mos ago with no codes. FInally fuel pump went out and i replaced it. Then a week later same issue, random dying anything from idling to goint 65 down the hiway. Code appeared p0340 for camshaft sensor. Replaced it and went on about our business.

Fast forward to today, about a month later and car is dying again and again, now with the code p0340, p0320(crank sensor) and code p1391 intermittent loss of cam/crank sensor. I have replaced both sensors, wiggled wires, and tested continuity from PCM to sensors and have found nothing wrong.

I keep getting these codes popping up again and again it is driving me nutty, and the wife is freaking out cause the car is strainding her all over the place.
Anyone had any similar experiences? Anyone have any ideas on where to look?...........I once had a stupid speed sensor short to ground internally and cause the car not to run, and I know it uses the same 8 volt supply the other sensors use that killed the whole power to them.

Please help
thanks in advance,
Bill

Not really sure what to say. How many miles are on the car? The older the car and te more miles, especially with "modern" ones, the more bugs there will be, regaurdless of brand.

Yes, I agree with that statement, however I am searching online and seeing many and varied dodge models from 1996-2008 having the same issue from cars to trucks to minivans, I appreciate your thoughts, but that isn't what I am looking for. Doesn't seem to be stratus specific.

Thanks
Bill
