HELP! Frustrated Town and Country owner.
I have a Chyrsler Town and Country 2004 3.3 engine. I just replaced lifters, rebuilt heads, good used cam shaft, timing chain, timing gears, head gaskets, etc. I am 99.9% sure I got the timing marks lined up correctly- pointed the arrows to each other and matched the two colored links with the marks. After putting all back together it is giving me a p0340 code- cam sensor. Think the cam sensor is bad? Or could I have screwed up the timing? Thanks

timing gears, used ones? u could have put a wrong set on there
|
Did you reposition the cam sensor after you put the timing cover back on? As in...set the air gap with the little wafer spacer?
|
The gears are new from Napa- should be right. Air gap? Please explain. I didn't set anything with the cam sensor.
|
I checked out online about the air gap. I ran to autozone and got a new cam sensor to try and no difference in running but got a p0344 code. It does idle well, but when you rev it up it pulsates. Almost has to be a misalligned timing chain? Right? Thanks
|
Also the camshaft I used was from a 2004 Dodge caravan 3.3- they said it is the same and would work- True?
|
Same engine, yes. The cam sensor has to have a little stick-on wafer on the bottom so there is an air gap. If you just plop in in there, it will rest right on the cam sprocket and will make contact, also will throw a code.
|
Thanks. The new cam sensor had the felt spacer included and I still got the code and poor running. Has to be misalligned chain- it looks like!
|
and sometimes it gives me a p0016 code?

Did you also have the P0016 BEFORE you did the timing chain and gears?? |
The p0016 and p0344 are new after doing the work. I had a miss on #3 before the work and found a trashed on cam, lifters, and stretched timing chain.

I am going to replace the crank sensor tomorrow just to see if that does anything. If not I am going to have to check the timing chain.
|
I just can't see how I would be off on the timing. I lined up the arrows and put the chains marks at the gear marks. Seems pretty straight forward.
