hey guys got a 2000 doge 3500 turbo diesel.when i am driving my rpm drops to zero and my power is lost for a few min to 10 min.after that the rpm will jump back and forth from zero to the normal and my power is back,and i pull at least 25,000lbs everyday.have 148,000km and the check engine light is on.had it scanned,code..p336 came up which reads the crank sensor,p1690 dont kno what it means.can anybody tell me whats going on?
336= crankshaft position sensor 1690= crankshaft position sensor does not agree with ECM Crank sensor Sounds like you have a bad crankshaft sensor. Harley
Here is a list. http://www.dieselspecialists.net/superchipspdf/0149AChryslerDTCReaderManual.pdf Harley
where is the crank sensor located at,u have a pic of the location,i been trying to find the damn thing and dont know where it at
And the Dodge Dealer said that I need a new fuel pump My 1999 3500 exhibits a similar problem. Quite randomly, the engine will drop to an idle while I am driving down the road. This happens regardless of whether I am using cruise control or simply maintaining speed with the fuel pedal. It will stay at an idle until I pump the pedal a few times. If I don't pump the pedal, it will idle for quite awhile. I need to check the error message code but am encouraged to hear that it might be something other than a $3,000 fuel pump replacement, which is what the Dodge dealer's "Customor Rep" strenuously argued. Thanks, GLD Tulsa
Check the codes. I might be the death code for the VP-44. If it is then it costs $$$ to get it fixed. You should be able to get it for less then $3000 though. Any diesel shop should be able to do it. The pump is generally $1000-1200 + labor. Harley
what's the VP-44? Hossbaby 50, I will get the codes checked per your suggestion. What is the VP-44? Thanks.
gld: What you're describing is called dead pedal. You'll likely have the code p0216 present if/when you get it scanned. You likely need a new VP44 (injection pump = expensive) and a new LP (lift pump) which was likely the cause of the IP failure. Do some searching/reading on the net (google or the like). I suggest these key words: - P0216 - Lift pump - VP44 - FASS - Dead pedal - APPS (accelerator pedal position sensor) - TPS (throttle position sensor - same as above, different term) Also, do some reading on the 2nd gen forum on dieseltruckresource.com and read this: https://towrig.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2129 Hope this helps.
i installed my cranksensor and it solved the problem.i did have to replace my fuel pressure regulator which was giving me a similiar problem like yours once. its known to go bad which you will have to replace the fuel pump.i bought the pump and replaced it myself which saved a lot of money versus taking it to the dealer.
