I'm thinking you still have a fuel pump problem. You'll need to check the fuel pressure with the appropriate gauge, etc. I'm thinking it's low pressure also.

WP wouldn't be tied into the starting issue...

.

even if it caused the belt to jump timing?

He's got a 3.5 don't think the WP is driven by the timing chain. I believe it's external.

1) 3.5 has timing *belt*.
2) Water pump is internal, driven by the timing belt.

I have been schooled yet again ..:smack:

If it was the fuel pump, wouldn't it have driveability issues? I floored it all the way to 80mph and no stumble,hesitation. Runs perfect.

Do what Dan indicates in post #12.

 

[bcpaul]

Thanks. I have replaced both with aftermarket ones.

Taking the car to the stealer tomorrow. If the knockoff sensors are crap then I hope to be able to return them.

It sounds like you might have two issues. One related to sensors (cam or crank) and one related to fuel delivery.

For what its worth I had an intermittent no start issue but not as frequent as yours. I also had an occurrence of P0340 (camshaft position sensor circuit). I replaced my crank sensor with an OEM one. Note that an intermittent crank sensor can trigger a P0340. I haven't had a no-start issue for almost three weeks now. My fingers are crossed.

Did you ever figure this out? I have a 2903 Intrepid, 40,000 miles (it was my late uncle’s and he didn’t drive much). I’m having the same issues. Replaced crankshaft sensor and about to replace cam sensor when I found this thread.
