Not sure if Help was the proper place to post this so I'll this..Still new to my 99. Left for work this AM with everything working fine. About 20 min. into my drive, I noticed when I took my foot off the pedal, the engine would surge up and down. The "Check Engine" Light has come on, It seems to be lacking power and to top it off the Tach. needle won't move off "0". Anyone know whats up. Its on the way to the dealer.

 

CRANK SHAFT POSITIONING SENSOR!

 

tell me this is not a very bad thing.......please :'(

 

pc of cake and 40.00$ from Cummins

 

ya its easy just have to pull the starter out and about 1/2hr and ur done very easy. i did it out in my driveway

 

Man you guys are good! The Dealer said exactly what you did, but they are gonna charge me $93.75 for the Sensor and about 1.5 hours for replacement. In Canadain Loonies - that's about $350.00. :-[
Time to buy a good sevice Manual. Do you recommend the Dodge one only, or are the Haynes or after market ones good enough. They were not bad for the Ford I used to own.
Is this installation just a plug and drive sensor or would there have to be any programing? ???
What would cause this sensor to go? ???
Is there a chance there could have been other damage after driving this after it went? ???
thanks again..

If you are looking for the Dodge Service manual you can get one here: https://techauthority.gltghosting.co...atalogId=10051
You might have to copy the address above and paste it in the address bar it doesn't seem to link the whole address.
I just got mine and it is a very good manual. It will cost about $90.00 plus shipping.
Hope this helps and good luck.

 

Hi,

I'm having this problem - The Sensor has been replaced and it now comes on erratically.

Has the same error with just intermittent no tach and the check engine light goes off occasionally.

I'm about $750 into this - and I'm getting worried.
