That is: Intermittent Loss of CMP or CKP which means intermittent loss of crank sensor or cam sensor signal most likely something a dealer or tech needs to repair.
Hope that helps, if this was accurate please give a thumbs up so others know too

SOURCE: P0320 & P1391 OBD codes displayed.

P 0320 = No Crank Reference Signal to PCM. No Crank (shaft position) reference signal detected during engine cranking (starting).
P 1391 =Intermittent Loss of either Camshaft Position Sensor or Crankshaft Position Sensor.
Hav you attemtped the "3-Key-Ons" method to see these codes on your digital Odometer (assuming you have one) Turn the Key from Off to On (not start) three (3) times. On the third (3rd) time leave the Key in the "On" position (not start). Look at your Dogotal Odometer (if so equipped). The Codes, one at a time should appear. The Last Code will be "P donE".
If te engine is performing without problems: disconnect the negative side of the Battery and wait at least 5 to 30 minutes. Reconnect the Battery. Re-preform the 3-Key-On's and see if and Codes are now showing.
If you start having Start or Running problems becoming more and more frequent: consider replacing the Crankshaft Position Sensor. If this sensor "fails" you may not get any fire to anything, as this is the signal that is necessary for the PCM to initiate the Firing Sequence. The PCM will not send a signal to even the Ignition Coil to begin.

I am getting a p1391 code on my jeep

The code translates as:
P1391 = Intermittent loss of CMP or CKP.
This is usually a fault on either the Crankshaft position sensor or the Camshaft position sensor. Get them both checked as the ECU isn't receiving information from one of them.

My 1998 Dodge Intrepid is starting & then stalling only after a few seconds. The engine light came on, & the code was P1391. Any ideas?

That code is indicating an intermittant crank shaft or cam shaft sensor fault. Because the engine is starting then stalling, check to see if you have spark after the stall. If spark is still present, you are probobley looking at a cam sensor circuit issue. The cam sensor controls the fuel injector pulse. If the cam sensor fails on a chrysler product, the fuel injectors will not function.

I got a code readout of P1391. What does it mean for a 1996 dodge pickup with a 5.2L engine?

The Engine Control Unit continuously receives information from sensors on the cam and crank shafts. This code indicates that there was an intermittent loss of signal from one or other of these sensors due to a sensor fault or a loose connection. If the fault persists the ECU will loose track of the relative position of the crank and cam and this will give rise to erratic engine firing. Try thoroughly cleaning the contacts within the electrical connectors to these sensors and see if this resolves the issue.
