Specific Fix build

Reliability tier: aggregated - verify before ordering, see /disclosure/

Hard start, stall or cam/crank correlation codes on the 3.6 ProMaster: battery first, then live cam/crank data and the phaser solenoid, then the sensor the code points to (mode Cam/crank position sensors and cam phaser actuator).

Parts

• 3.6 Pentastar Camshaft Position Sensor (5149141AF) - camshaft position sensor (5149141AF) (qty 1)
• 3.6 Pentastar Crankshaft Position Sensor (5149167AF, current) - crankshaft position sensor (5149167AF) (qty 1)
• 3.6 Pentastar Cam Phaser Actuator (5184101AH, current) - cam phaser actuator solenoid (5184101AH) (qty 1)

Install order

1. verify battery health first
2. read the correlation codes and live cam/crank data
3. actuate the phaser solenoid and check its screens for debris
4. replace the sensor or actuator the code points to

Expected outcome

Starts every time, no correlation or phaser codes.
