 Subject: Truck not starting,compression?Camshaft?
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 94 v6 3.9L 4x4 with 110,000 miles on it. I recently took it out and I took it up to 112 mph, which I should have not done, anyway, I only did that once or twice then I stopped and went the speed limit, (65) the rest of the way home. Anyway, it drove fine for 20 miles after I took it up to the 112 (almost 5k RPM's redline), and then I hit a stoplight and i stopped, then it ran at idle for a few seconds, then it just shut off for no reason, just the engine, not the electrical, and it wouldnt start after that, it would still crank a little bit but wouldnt turn over, but the crank didnt sound the same, alot more quieter, almost like no compression, i dont know. So I used the on board diagnostics and code 54 popped up, which came up as crankshaft not responding, anybody have ideas? Did I kill my crankshaft or the crankshaft bearings or something like that, any help would be appreciated!

Probably a crank position sensor, ~$50 at your local dodge dealer.

pull the distributor cap off and have somebody crank it over and watch the rotor button.if it's not turning you may have broken the timing chain. if it is ,do a compression test, if the cylenders are all low( say under 100 psi ) the timing chain may have "jumped" . or stripped the teeth of the cam gear.and still turning but all out of whack. hope this gives you a place to start.
