Littl confused on this, will be doing compression test tomorrow. When engine cranks it sounds like it is saying I don't wanna! was told possibly broken valve spring? Any thoughts?

Yes Derric,
Most of the time it will be the cam sensor causing the problem.

Yes.
the engine computer does not know when to fire the plugs and injectors.

  • Derric Oldenburg Feb 02, 2014

    Replaced cam pos sensor, same code. Po340 comes up. Have rpm on scanner during cranking.So crank sensor is reading. good spark at plugs.When motor cranks sounds like it saying I don't wanna. On dash it indicator comes up with throttle control sign, I believe that's what it was called. Checking compression tomorrow morning.

check the asd relay swap it with another like it. also check fuses and old car alarm if it had one.the cam and crank sensor will not affect fuel pressure. the cam sensor should not stop this car from starting. but the crank sensor will. good luck.

SOURCE: Fuel pressure intermittently drops causing sputter and die.

check for 12v constant at your fuel pump if you are not getting that replace your relay.
if you are getting 12 volts at your fuel pump the fuel pump is possible to run tuel it gets warm then shut down to a lower rpm I would then replace the fuel pump

Get a can of CRC Mass Air Flow sensor or Electronic Parts cleaner.

Disconnect the connector for the Injector Pump and clean out the contacts.

Use a small needle nose to PUSH the contacts into the connector.

Use the reset of the can to clean out other electrical connector.

Use OBDII scanner or disconnect negative battery cable to reset code.

Here are your dash warning lights. The lightning bolt is Electronic Throttle Control, and you can't drive without that. Not sure that your sail and sun is unless it is the Cold Ambient Derate Mode Indicator
You need a local auto electrician. you can't guess stuff like this, it needs a pro grade scan tool computer.

Crank but want start on 2011 dodge ram 1500 5.7 l hemi keys and WCM fixed new battery starter checked and altinator still want start

IF THE ENGINE SPINS BUT WILL NOT RUN THEN THE ISSUE IS NOT BATTERY/STARTER/ ALT. CHECK FOR FUEL AT FUEL RAIL AND FOR SPARK AT THE PLUGS. YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO TRY RESETTING THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM.

2008 dodge hemi quit running. Fuel pressure 60 psi, good spark, and had po340 cms sensor code. Replaced sensor, same code. Did a compression test, #5 #6 #7 #8 had zero compression. #4 had 30 psi. I am...

Code340 means the computer is not getting a signal from the cam sensor for one bank. Since you replaced the sensor, and given the fact one side has no compression, it could be that there is no signal because that cam is not turning.

HaVE A 96 1500 PICK UP WITH V6 VORTEC, GETTING ONTO FWY TRUCK DIED. NOW IT WILL CRANK OVER, HAVE SPARK AND FUEL TO CARB. WONT START. IF I POUR FUEL INTO CARB IT WILL RUN. ANYIDEAS IAM SITTING ON FWY NOW

Sounds like you lost a fuel pump, although they usually don't quit while being driven. Have it towed and get a fuel pressure check. That vehicle has to have very close to 60 psi fuel pressure to run. Have a new fuel filter installed also. Plugged fuel filters are the most common cause of fuel pump failure.
