Well, so much for that idea. The ring gear that the starter engages is not on the flywheel, it's on the torque convertor itself. So I wouldn't be able to start the truck if I unbolt it and push the convertor back, because the ring gear goes with it.
I guess I can drop the tranny oil pan...
Well...after following the form flow diagnostics in the Dodge Powertrain book in regards to the P0340/P1391 codes, everything checked out fine. Crank and cam sensors tested good, and the related wiring for each sensor both to and from the PCM also tested fine for input and signal voltage, proper...
Sorry for the delay in getting back here. The holiday weekend proved to be more work than relaxation!
I went to Dodge on Friday and had him hook up his scanner. He checked my fuel sync timing, based on where the distributor was set and found it was in range. So much for the easy fix...
Well, I haven't drove the truck in 3 days. Went out and started it tonight, same old idle problem. Only now, the P0340 code came back with the P1391 and the CEL is on. Both of these codes together seem to point to the cam position sensor....again.
I whipped out the old voltmeter and...
The biggest problem that I see in this is really the most confounding:
How could the truck have a rough idle in park, and miss, buck and hesitate at light/part throttle, and buck at random between 40-50MPH.....BUT RUN COMPLETELY NORMAL IN NEUTRAL??
In neutral, it idles perfectly smooth...
Ok guys, here's where I'm at now. I pulled the distributor cap with the #1 cylinder at TDC to verify the rotor points towards the correct mark on the cam position sensor....which it does (which was fun to see with a mirror and a drop light:)). While I had the cap off, I pulled the cam pos...
Sorry for the delay in getting back here. Yesterday afternoon, I took my truck to the Dodge dealer to have one of their techs plug in their scanner to see where I was at with the timing (since I had removed and reinstalled the distributor).
Since the truck won't idle steady in park, he...
Greetings everyone. I've been looking at this forum for some time and I finally decided to register and post a problem I have with my 2002 Ram 2500 4x4 with a 5.9L gas V8 that has 134,000 miles on her. I sure hope someone can help me diagnose this problem, because I'm quite literally stuck on...
