The first thing to do is find out what fault code is stored in the memory of the computer.

You have a crankshaft position sensor fault, The sensor could be bad or a number of other things from a shorted or open 5 volt supply from the PCM . Crank signal open or shorted. Faulty ground and so on. If you just wanted to take a pot shot at it, replace the crank sensor

Got part, Dealer said Crank positioned senor was behind the power steering pump on the right side of motor, and I would have to pull power steering pump bracket. It took 2 hours to remove the pump and bracket, and the upper and lower plastic cover over the cam shaft belt. Could not find Crank positioned senor! Called a local garage, and was told the senor was on other side of motor, over the starter! It was there! Put part in, Started fine, Ran OK for 5 miles, then it cut off the Cruise Control by its self and motor started cutting out (Missing). I will try to get a new error code soon. Any Ideas?

Hope it's not like on my 1993 Nissan Altima. The crank sensor was part of the distributor and had to be replaced along with it. $500 for the distributor plus labor. The distributor seal had leaked allowing oil into the sensor. Where is the sensor in most late model Dodges or does it vary widely with different engines?

Depending on the engine application depends on where the crank sensor is located. Your lucky with you Nissan to get away with just a $500 distributor. The 2.5 Mitsubishi engine's( used on some later model Chrysler) distributor will run about $1300.00 for the part plus labor

It's a 4 door, I'm now getting an error code 0300 Could it be the spark plug wires? They look good and the problems comes and goes. It's starting fine now, just starts missing while driving. Thanks for your help Bruce
