    DTC P0339 Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Circuit Intermittent

    Diagnostic Aids
    Refer to Symptoms .

    An intermittent may be caused by any of the following conditions:

    • A poor connection

    • Rubbed through wire insulation

    • A broken wire inside the insulation

    Thoroughly inspect any circuitry that is suspected of causing the intermittent complaint. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems.

    If a repair is necessary, refer to Wiring Repairs or Connector Repairs in Wiring Systems.

    Test Description
    The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

    Allow the engine to idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature.
    Select DTC and the Specific DTC functions.
    Enter the DTC number which was set.
    Operate the vehicle, within the Conditions for Setting this DTC, until the scan tool indicates the diagnostic Ran.
    Does the scan tool indicate the diagnostic Passed?
    --
    Go to Step 17
    Go to Step 2

    17
    Does the scan tool display any undiagnosed DTCs?
    --
    Go to the applicable DTC table
    System OK

    After replacing the crank sensor did you do
    Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn
    Install the scan tool.
    Apply the vehicle parking brake.
    Block the drive wheels.
    Close the hood.
    Place the vehicle transmission in Park on an automatic transmission or Neutral on a manual transmission.
    Idle the engine until the coolant temperature reaches 65°C (150°F).
    Turn OFF all of the accessories.
    Important: If the CKP System Variation Learn Procedure cannot be completed successfully, refer to DTC P1336 Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Not Learned for additional diagnostic information.

    Enable the Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn Procedure with the scan tool.
    Important: After the ignition switch is turned to the CRANK position, the VCM must see a change in the state of brake switch, released to applied, to run the learn procedure. Also, the service brakes, not the parking brake, must be held throughout the duration of the learn procedure.

    Apply and hold the service brakes.
    Important: While the learn procedure is in progress, release the throttle immediately when the engine starts to decelerate. The engine control is returned to the operator and the engine will respond to throttle position after the learn procedure is complete.

    Slowly raise the engine speed to 4,000 RPM.
    Immediately release the throttle when the engine speed decreases.
    Turn OFF the ignition for 15 seconds after the learn procedure is completed successfully.

SOURCE: Why does my 2000 Chevy Express 350 sputter and engine shakes when taking off?

Hi Frederick:
I'd be suspicious of timing, like maybe just a bit too advanced. Possible cause could be a vacuum leak. Does it have a vacuum pot on the distributor? If so, make sure it is working properly. If it is stuck, the timing will not retard under low vacuum, making your engine feel sorry for itself.

What does it mean when my truck sputters when I accelerate?

Probably needs a tune up. plug wires, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor. Also change the air filter and fuel filter and crank case filter as well as PCV valve (positive crankcase ventilation valve) this valve scavenges harmful acid deposits or blow by and reburns it and sends it out the exhaust pipe. Examine everything before you buy new if the plugs look good just reset the gap if the wires look good move on to the cap and rotor. you can find images on the internet to look at to compare condition of most parts at least just by look. if that does not do the trick you may have to take it to a mechanic. be sure you tell them all you have done. start with plugs cap and rotor then fuel filter. Check the air filter if you cannot see light through the paper element replace it for sure. the sputter can indicate not enough fuel or insufficient spark to ignite the fuel.
spark plugs can do wonders if they have not been changed for a long time. the fuel/combustion deposits rob the spark from jumping the gap which ignites the fuel under higher cylinder pressures. when the spark travels directly to ground without jumping the gap the cylinder makes no power.

Spits and sputters until warm

TUNE-UP, SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, AIR & FUEL FILTERS, FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN TANK, ALSO REPLACE PCV VALVE, & MOST IMPORTANT, REPLACE EGR VALVE, IT GETS TOTALLY CLOGED UP, YOUR ENGINE IS KNOWN FOR THAT. I HAVE A GNC 2500, 3/4 TON. SEEN IT ALL. CHANGE YOUR DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR ALSO. JUST DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!

You've already eliminated the spark plug & wireset, distributor cap & rotor.
Sounds like your car needs a tune-up, specifically, the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve, and/of the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve.

Components checked/replaced during a tune-up are:
air filter
motor oil
motor oil filter
breather filter
fuel filter(s)
fuel strainer
PCV valve
EGR valve
spark plugs
spark plug wires
ECM or distributor cap & rotor
cabin air filter
transmission oil filter
transmission oil
engine coolant
check all vacuum hoses and lines

Troubleshooting the no-start condition - from the 1990 Mitsu Mighty Max Repair Manual:

Priority Action Part Type -- Cause
1 Inspect Battery -- Battery Discharged or Faulty.
2 Inspect Battery Cable -- Corroded, Broken, Shorted or Poorly Connected Battery Cable.
3 Inspect Distributor Cap -- Distributor Cap Cracked or Burned.
3 Inspect Fuel Filter -- Clogged or Dirty Fuel Filter.
5 Inspect Ignition Coil -- Faulty Ignition Coil.
6 Inspect Wireset -- Worn, Damaged or Faulty Spark Plug Wire(s).
7 Inspect Spark Plug -- Incorrectly Gapped or Fouled Spark Plug(s).
8 Inspect Starter -- Starter Motor Faulty.
9 Inspect Fuel Pump -- Low Fuel Pressure.
10 Inspect Solenoid Switch -- Faulty Starter Solenoid Switch.
11 Inspect Fuel Pump Relay -- Faulty Fuel Pump Relay.
12 Inspect Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator -- Faulty Fuel Injector Pressure Regulator.
13 Inspect Ignition Switch -- Improperly Connected or Faulty Ignition Switch.
14 Inspect Starter Drive -- Faulty Starter Drive.
15 Inspect Fuel Injector -- Dirty or Worn Fuel Injectors.
16 Inspect Fuel Pump Strainer -- Clogged or Dirty Fuel Pump Strainerat.
17 Inspect Engine Control Computer -- Incorrect Operating Information Being Delivered and Sent From The EEC.
18 Inspect Fuel Tank -- Fuel Tank Empty.
19 Inspect Carburetor -- Carburetor Flooded or Faulty Choke.
20 Inspect Distributor -- Worn, Loose, or Incorrectly Installed Distributor.
