Have you checked the map sensor? I have known a few vehicles that did this. Sometimes it would go 5 miles, other times 30. Martin, they would get the same code, O2 sensor. If so, I would try to replace that and it probably will solve the issue. The car would die a few times a day. If you have anymore questions, let me know Martin. I am here to help you.

1996 Honda accord no crank intermittently

cranking is turning the engine over
from you misinterpretation of the term the problem is that it is cranking but not running
if that is correct then yes the cam shaft position sensor may very well be the cause of the not running at times as it controls the ignition and injector operation , the same as the crank shaft position sensor
could be a loose connection that has now come apart or the sensor has finally reached a point of failure that it needs to be replaced

2004 chrysler sebring 2.4l dohc.

Have you ever replaced the timing belt?? If not the problem is likely to be a loose worn out timing belt. A floppy belt will play havoc with the sensor signals and trigger a check engine light and a camshaft sensor code.

How can I check timing with a timing gun on a 99 Sportage

Check the timing specification of your engine, it could be from approx 5 to approx 10 degree BTDC (before top dead center). The timing marks are located on the crank shaft pulley with a pointer on the engine case.
Connect the timing light spark plug on to the number one spark plug and connect the power leads to the battery (make sure the red positive lead is connected to the + battery terminal and the black lead to the - battery terminal).
Loosen the distributor clamp if needed, start the engine, shine the timing light onto the crank shaft pulley and press the timing light trigger. The timing light will flash, adjust the distributor by rotating the distributor slightly or by the adjusting screw so the pointer above the crankshaft lines up with the specified timing mark on the pulley.
Turn off the engine and tighten the distributor clamp if necessary.

2005 Dodge Stratus ? Camshaft Position Sensor causing problems (I

I had the same problem with my '05 Stratus SXT 2.4 DOHC. I've replaced the cam pos sensor and it seems to be running fine right now. On the Dodge forums a lot of the guys say that you need to replace the crank pos sensor too. I've bought one of those just in case it comes back again. Hope this helps.

Blinking Check Engine light

This is typically a sign of a "detrimental misfire". A blinking check engine light means DON'T DRIVE ME! You may want to have your coil pack checked, plugs replaced or gapped properly, or wires replaced. Would also have to do with the camshaft sensor causing your timing to be off.
