Good Evening to all the Ram Fans,

OK, riddle me this Batman, Boss is driving his truck, stops at light truck dies no warning and won't restart.
Check codes, only thing showing is P0016 " Crank and Cam correlation".
Finally finds a shop yesterday that would work on it, mechanic checks codes sees the same thing, just the P0016 showing. Changes and says it was the "FUEL SOLENOID", WHAT ???????.
Truck is running fine now, makes no sense to me or the Boss.
Does anybody care to take a shot at explaining this one ??

AHHH, non mds, that would have left cam sensor (replaced 6 myths ago), crank sensor and the big one, timing chain tensioner and guides (that is pricey).
And the riddle continues....

Because it wasnt starting the mechanic knew a sensor or "solenoid" wasnt synchronize properly. A few of them need to "communicate" to start your truck, in other words have to be in working order. If that code but the truck started or ran crapsy different diagnose. Good mechanic regardless.

As to the mech, very much so. This would have drove me nuts with the that code. In reading all the treads and sites, none mentioned the fuel solinoid.
