,1391 is the camshaft position sensor if you have a 2.5 or 3.0 engine
this is a distributor code ..just change the distributor and put new plugs and wires on the car also ( you must have over 120k on the engine )
you can get it at any auto parts store its about $200 i did see them on e-bay and bought 1 and it only lasted about 9 mo.
no savings because of only 90 day return .
all part stores give a life time return . 2x the work and I was out $125.
be smart you get what you pay for and the job takes about 3 hours if your a good parts changer. now you will have to reset all old codes with a obd tester checker. if you do not have one now get that on e-bay ( the cheapest one will work ) $ 35.

Code 1391 is probly why it wont start. cam sensors go out on these engines. i would replace it and the crank sensor. its probly only the cam sensor but i usually replace them both if one goes bad. the other codes are from a low voltage condition i would say, like a dead battery.

Code 1391 is the camshaft position sensor intermittent loss of signal That is where I would start I would try testing or replacing it. If you were driving it and it died the engine could have jumped time. The code 108 is the Manifold absolute pressure sensor or circuit problem.it would probably run with that problem but not well.1598 is for the air conditioning that won't cause your problem Hope this helps

What do you mean by “car won’t read the right problems that’s wrong with the car” Do you mean it doesn’t show a code or the code you got Has been repaired and it still codes or running problems.

Could be a wiring problem.
The first two codes are for problems with the shift position sensor, and the code 999 is for a problem with one of the pressure sensor circuits.
