There"s some great mechanics on this board and I"m hoping that one of you can help me find the answer....My daughter has this easy startng Dodge (3.5 Hemi) that "seems" to shut down momentarily...just for a fraction of a second. Only happens when excellerating..just enough to make driving for her "worrisome". You can take a mechanics stethoscope and hear the injectors shutting down and then starting again when you rev the engine. Here"s what happened and what has been done so far. It overheated while she was driving. She called her husband and by driving a little and resting a lot, she managed to get it home. Not sure if it ruined the engine. He replaced the thermostat and that apparently fixed the problem....for about 2weeks... then...the shuting down stated. He replaced the plugs, wires, coil, and it didn"t help. They took it to a dealer who said the engine was fine. They checked the codes and found that the "crank and camshaft sensors were intermittent"..The dealer replace those ($300)..that didn"t help. Then they called her and said it needed a new wiring horness...$1000. She didn"t let them do that. I took it to my brother and his code checker said the same thing.
"Intermittent crank and cam sensors". We have checked for voltage and found that the sensors are only receiving .12 volts where it should receive 8.0. We have tried to check the wires for continuity, but the colors have faded so much that you really can"t tell orange from pink. But the fact that they are receiving .12v tells me that at least, there is continuity. We"re kinda lost as to where to look next. We are reluctant to replace the wiring horness (big expensive job) or the pcm. I guess I"m hoping one of you has some experience with this engine problem and can direct me to what to do next. I appreciate any help you can give.thanks..Ron
