Chrysler Repair: 1999 Plymouth Voyager code 1391, crankshaft position sensor, crank sensor


Question
My wifes 99 voyager 4 cyl has broken down 3 days in a row. Starts and runs great, then after 15-20 minutes or about 8 miles is sputters bucks and dies. Pulled the code the first time and got p0352. Ran fine after sitting for several hours. Replaced the coilpack (no distributer) plugs and wires after the second breakdown and thought it was fixed, but same thing.

Ran perfect for about 15 minutes and 7 miles then sputtered and died. This time pulled a code 1391 cam/crank sensor signal intermittent. would barely start until it sat for 30 minutes, then made it half way home until it went again. Only ,made it about two miles since it was already semi warm

Now that it's home, all I can think of is the cam sensor or crank sensor fails when the engine block is hot. I'm thinking I'll just replace them both for piece of mind, but can't find the crank sensor on this one to see how hard it is to get to. The cam sensor looks easy.

Anyone know where the crank sensor is? Also, Is there anything else that could cause the above problems?
Thank you!


Answer
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The crankshaft position sensor mounts to the engine block behind the generator, just behind the oil filter Crankshaft Position Sensor

REMOVAL
Raise and support vehicle.
Disconnect electrical connector from crankshaft position sensor.
Remove sensor mounting screw.
Pull crankshaft position sensor straight out.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: If the removed sensor is to be reinstalled, clean off the old spacer on the sensor face. A NEW SPACER must be attached to the sensor face before installation. If the sensor is being replaced, confirm that the paper spacer is attached to the face of the new sensor.

Install sensor and push sensor down until contact is made. While holding the sensor in this position, and install and tighten the retaining bolt to 11.9 N·m (105 in. lbs.) torque
