Guage help
SAturday when I parked her she was running and acting fine. Sunday I go out start her up, She stumbled at idle a few times, Check engine light came on, Oil pressure showed higher than normal, and the tach wasnt registering! I killed it. checked oil, and the trouble codes. Codes showed only P1693. I know i'm due for a oil and fuel filter change, as well as ther fan belt is starting to show it's age. Usually the oil guage shows high for a minute or two then drops to the normal range, but not this time. Also a minute or so later the engine stumbled, then the tach started registering. It's a 2000 model, with a K&N, and and Edge adjustable box. Other than that the 5" stacks are all Ive done to it. Any help would be appreciated. I had to replace the lift pump about a year ago, and she's just pushin 90K on the odometer. Thanks

Crank sensor would be my guess. When my tach dropped out that is what Dodge put in under warrenty.
|
If it is the CPS there are some other items (in addition to the tach) that won't work like the A/C and the charging system.
|
Yeah the A/C works, and the charging system seems to be working fine. I figure I'll disconnect the batteries and see if it pops up again. If so I guess I'll take it to the parts store and hav'em give me a readout. Any idea what a crank sensor would cost to replace if that was the culprit? Thanks.

Now it is having some starting problems as well. It will sit and sputter while cranking, but after a few tries it will start just fine. Then the tach comes on and off intermitently. When the tach is not registering, the engine seems to run a little rough, with a slight vibration. Any Ideas. I plan on taking it to the shop on monday, unless someone might know what could be wrong. Thanks.

Crank Sensor
I have an appointment at 11:30 tomorrow to get a Crank Sensor in my 1999 CTD at the Dodge Dealer. They quote $71 for the sensor and ~1.3hours labor so about $140. Total will be about ~$211 +tax.
|
Well the scanner showed a bad crank sensor. So $65 bucks at the dodge house. Gonna replace it today, and hope for the best.
|
Yay!!! I win! What's my prize?!?!?! [roll]
|
HaHa! I'll send you the lil box the sensor came in! Complete with a brand spankin used and faulty Crank Position Sensor! Thanks.
|
Well that sensor fixed the problem, but it was a butt to replace. Pull the starter, then the sensor was seized in the block. Had to drill a hole, then screwed a tap in the hole. Still wouldnt pry out. Ended up chipping the whole thing out with a screwdriver. Hooked the batteries back up and started it, no more dummy light!!!!!!! YaY. Thanks
