I have a 01 durango stoped running a week sgo had code cam or crank so i replaced both ran for a day now has code p0320 every where i check say crank sensor is their anything else i do have a broken ribbon ground rite by the sensor could this cause this some how
Possible. the grounds play a big part in the whole scheme of things. (if the ribbon is totally broken)
First of all, even though I don't think it has anything to do with it, fix the ground. These sensors were made of cheap plastic in those days if I recall correctly. Make sure it is installed right. Meaning that nothing turned while replacing it. Secondly, after replacing the sensor make sure there is a signal(power) from the ignition source.(ie, distributor or coil pack), third, unplug your battery for about a minute to give your phone a hard reset. It may take the computer a few starts to (learn) the new sensor. If everything is plugged in correctly, has power, and the computer has been reset, you very well may have gotten a faulty sensor which your auto parts will gladly replace. If this is the case, look on the bright side, it will come out a lot easier than the original even though it is in a tight spot. The 4.7 Durango had the sensor passenger side bell housing by head. Good luck.
Get a data stream run to solve. Just a code reading is a general area. Aftermarket sensors can not work. Original is bettr
Broken ground could indeed be causing a problem. also, replacement sensor could be bad.

I had this same P1345 code on my 1998 GMC K1500 5.7 for about 2 years. Each time the code was erased, the "Service Engine Light" came right back on with the same code. I tried replacing the cam sensor, but that didn't solve it. I had the timing adjusted, it was out -13 degrees. After adjustment, the "Service Engine Light" went off, but only for a short time. Adjusting the timing is just a temporary mask on fixing the real problem and eventually you will run out of adjustment. I read about this same problem on another forum and someone recommended changing the distributor gear. So I checked the gear and a the teeth were worn. Replaced the gear ($35 part), readjusted the timing and the light has been off ever since. Apparently the gears in 96-99 are soft and wear enough to throw off the timing. This code is telling you the crank and distributor are out of sync. So before you start buying sensors and other misc. parts, try the distributor gear if you are getting a P1345 code.

I put in a new crank positioning sensor and it fixed my problem. 42.00 dollars from NAPA. took about 2 hours to change it.

1st try and search for a vaccum leak, due to the fact that these vehicles have had some bad problems with the length of wires and hoses, if there is a vaccum leak in the vehicle somewhere that will trigger other malfunctions in your vehicle. Using a can of starting fluid or Brake cleaner spray lightly spray around our engine til you hear the motor rev-up and the spot you have sprayed will determine where your vaccum leak will be. And then check under your distributor cap for any moisture be sure to take a rag and wipe and residue off. Also check the firing order on your distributor.

With both codes pointing at TP sensor, I'd certainly take the time to replace it, as well as make sure connections to it are clean, and good. Chances are, you won't be able to take part back anyway. As far as exhaust goes, if it's leaking in the right places in may cause improper readings at sensors downstream, but if not obvious leak, I wouldn't be concentrating in that area right now.

you bypassed the wires that connect to the sensors? that would have been my first guess the harness that plugs into the sensor. after that i would check the ground connection from the ecm. wouldn't hurt to check the battery posts too. if the battery posts are oxidized you can have all kinds of goofy electrical problems. hope that helps.
