Where does the cam sensor need to be?
Inspect the harness carefully anywhere it will normally come into contact with metal… whether it’s sharp edged or not. Cam/ crank sync. The cam sensor needs to be within 10 degrees of crank to by in-sync, otherwise the cam signal isn’t recognized by the PCM.
How to set a blanket code for a cam sensor?
The cam sensor needs to be within 10 degrees of crank to by in-sync, otherwise the cam signal isn’t recognized by the PCM. The fleeting nature of a cam sensor sitting right on the fence between in and out of sync would be tough for the PCM to figure out, so it sets a blanket code (P1391).

IT IS A 2001 DAKOTA 3.9 STANDARD . IT IS RANDOM, NOT TEMP RELATED.I HAVE WIGGLED ALL WIRES BETWEEN BOTH SENSORS ,AND ECM. Thanks.
Is the static timing at O degrees the correct place to set the cam sensor?
IT IS ABOUT 90 DEGREES FROM IT. I COULDNT TURN THE DIST ENOUGH TO GET THE VOLT SIGNAL TO CHANGE AS YOU MENTIONED. IS THE STATIC TIMING AT O DEGREES THE CORRECT PLACE TO SET THE CAM SENSOR TIMING?
Where is the camshaft sensor on a 1998 Dodge Dakota?
The camshaft position sensor is a key component of the ignition system on your 1998-2003 3.9L Dodge Dakota and 1998-1999 3.9L Dodge Durango. This bad boy is located in the distributor and testing it is not hard since it can be tested with a simple multimeter.
How to test the camshaft position sensor ( 1998 )?
CASE 1: The multimeter read the indicated ON/OFF DC voltage. This is the correct and expected test result and tells you that the camshaft position sensor is functioning correctly. Since the camshaft position sensor IS NOT defective, something else is causing your 3.9L V6 Dakota to not start.
What does the CKP sensor on a 1999 Dodge Durango do?
The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor in your 1999 Dodge Durango provides a cranking signal to the onboard computer that is used, along with the camshaft position sensor, to calculate correct ignition system and fuel injection function.
How to install a crankshaft positioning sensor on a 99?
Disconnect the negative battery cable using a 13 mm wrench and lay it beside the battery so it cannot accidentally touch the battery terminal and cause sparks. Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor located on top of the transmission bell housing angled slightly to the driver side of the truck.
