I have the 1999 Dodge Caravan with the 4 cylinder that just quit running while driving. It got a camshaft position sensor fault code. We replaced the sensor, and the van still would not start. I unplugged the MAP sensor and tried to start, but it still would not start. I checked for spark by removing a spark plug and visually seeing a spark, and it had spark. We poured gas directly into the cylinder, and still could not get it to fire. What other items do you think that I should try?

Did you disconnect the battery to clear the code for the camshaft position sensor? You didn't mention this, so I figured I'd ask.....

Code reads P0340 Camshaft position Sensor circuit

That makes the computor think the timing is off. Replace the sensor and see if that does it. You will then have to have the code cleared (erased) or the light will come back on/stay on.

I have a 1999 Dodge Caravan 4 cylinder, 2 wheel drive. I was driving down the rod, and it just stopped running. All of the lights still work, and the van will turn over but not start. It had a camshaft...

The problem is the MAP sensor, it measures air pressure in the manifold. If it didn't sense pressure, then ECU think the engine not turning, so giving no fuel hence the engine is not fired. Unplug the electric connector from MAP then restart. If it starts then replace the MAP sensor. It looks like this near the right of the upper intake plenum: d1e893c.jpg

1999 dodge ram 1500 5.2 engine. I will be driving along and it will just quit. after a miniute it will restart. sometimes the engine continues to run with no power. What can I do?

the 1st thing you do is have the sytem tested for trouble codes, this will most likely show a bad crankshaft or camshaft position sensor.
