Could be a wiring problem.
The first two codes are for problems with the shift position sensor, and the code 999 is for a problem with one of the pressure sensor circuits.
You may need a shop manual to troubleshoot the circuits.

Hello first of all


well i am sorry a mechanic cant figure this out its really sad. ok so your problem is your either one of two things but most likely the first one i list.

1. camshaft postion sensor
2. crankshaft postion sensor

Now that being said it most likely the camshaft sensor the reason i say that is when a crankshaft postion sensor is bad the car has very hard starts and most of the time no start issues. When a camshaft postion sensor is bad the car cuts off whil driving and can be hard to start up again.

So that being said they are both pretty cheap parts i would go ahead and replace them both and i would bet my 5 years as ford mechanic that solves your issue.

The crank postion sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer pully or right beside it here is a picture from autozone.com and description.

The crankshaft position sensor identifies position of the crankshaft to the ignition control module (ICM), engine control module (ECM) or powertrain control module (PCM).

  • When not replaced, vehicle could experience no- or hard start, long crank time, misfire, lack of power, excessive hydrocarbons in oil, spark plug fouling, catalytic converter failure, poor fuel economy, CEL/MIL illumination or intermittent shutdown.
  • Designed to meet or exceed OE specifications in form, fit and function.
  • Global coverage for import and/or domestic applications.

    The crankshaft postion sensor is 22.99 and the cam is 19.99 so 50.00 bucks and about hours time should have you up and running.

    PS if this helps please 4 thumbs up it helps me continue to help on here thanks

    Have you checked to see if all of the fuses are good? That could be the cause for the radio and the tripometer not working.

    Sputtered out and now it won't stay running; dies when put in gear.

    Mass air flow , crank sensor . I wouldn't discount anything . Having a scan tool that can view engine sensor data would be a great help too , testing fuel pressure and flow and back pressure test the exhaust .

    Jeep was overheating, Now leaking transmision fluid and won't start

    I don't see how leaking transmission fluid would be connected to the engine overheating, unless the radiator blew up.
    You'll need to figure out why it won't start to proceed.
    Check for spark and fuel pressure, and of course compression.
    Is the check engine light on ?

    98 dodge ram 5.2l 4x4. Trans/Idle problems.

    It won't shift 1-2 or 2-3 or both unless you let off? If it is just 1-2 it might be a band adjustment, but I'll bet you have a plugged governor solenoid screen also.
