Well, do the simple stuff first, yes

 

Well another problem now!

This thing has cost me a car payment on my new truck to keep it running so far... RAM Hurry up and build my 1500!

Anyways Was running fine until yesterday. Started it up in the morning (freezing cold) ran for 2-3 and died. Didn't think that much of it figured it was due to the cold. Started again and it took a bit but it cranked over and fired up.

Drove into work and it stuttered a few times...

Came home and while driving it died 2-3 times randomly while driving. Had to throw it into netural and crank it while driving to get it going.

got it back checked error codes again

getting 12-43-43-14-43

So seeing 14 was the map sensor I decided to try that since I've done, plug, wires, coil since then.

Well apparently no one stocks the actual map sensor on the vehicle and the one that shows up on the computers at every part store was wrong. I had to take mine off today and bring it to car quest and they were able to order the same one off a part number on it.

Hooked it up today started it and same thing ran for 3-4 mins and died. FIred it up again and drove some and it died twice out right and a couple of times the rpms stuttered...

Not quiet sure what else it could be. Called my mechanic and he seems to think the crank sensor is going.. Does that sound right? If it is that is it a pain in the *** to replace?

Thanks guys

 

CPS is one of the things that could be causing your symptoms, yes.
Word of advice: if replacing this sensor, use a quality/OEM

 

yeah mechanic said same thing. Given this **** weather this might be one I get him to do. Don't want to **** around im cold anymore.

 

Been reading a lot on the cold interfering with repairs atm with you guys...
