On the 4.7L, the cam position sensor is located on the right cylinder head (thats the passenger side) toward the front below the valve cover gasket. Not on the front of the head but on the side where the exhaust manifold is attched at the forward end of the head. The crankshaft position sensor is located on the same side (right) but is at the opposite end of the engine between the bell housing and the block. The crankshaft position sensor can be replaced without removing the engine or transmission, it just looks tight. Also, on the crankshaft position sensor, it slides out of a rubber gromet. Here's a few pics to help. My husband is trying to - hotrodshop.gifhotrodshop_0.gif

P1391 c0de 2002 dodge ram van no start

Code P1391 Loss of crank or cam sensors,P0340 No cam signal at the pcm. I would replace the crank sensor first. Your cam sensor is part of the dist. on 5.2/5.9 engines.
Hope that helps.

No fire, Won't Start

immobilizer , crank and cam position sensors have not being mentioned
dodge code 32 refers to faulty EGR and not to ignition problems
also if the ignition switch is faulty there will be no run circuit to provide power for the ignition in the run position

Does a dodge ram 1500 have a cam or crank censor?

The 3.9L 5.2L and 5.9L engine use the distributor assembly as your cam sensor . The crank sensor is on right rear attached to engine block (behind cylinder head)

97 Dodge Ram Pick up cranks ok engine won't run

try checking all the ground circuits comming out of the PCM. and its also not common for a ground driver in the PCM to fail on dodges. also i have seen crankshaft sensors short out and take out pcm communication. so i would start by unplugging any sensor that runs off the 5v supply until the pcm wil talk to the scanner. if you unplug a sensor and communication returns to scanner then replace the sensor. and dont forget to check for good power and ground at the data link conector and PCM
