I have '98 V6 with a misfire the stored codes indicate it's on 1 & 3 & 5. Runs good when cold. Any ideas?

No good fire in engine. It is like not having enough logs on the fire.

Okay. I got another code today: P1391 (intermittent loss of CMP or CKP). Both are new. The misfire doesn't happen until the motor warms up. Any suggestions?

The problem is either the Crank or Cam position
sensor.


P1391 - Intermittent loss of camshaft position
sensor or crankshaft position sensor
Rich pointed out that possibilities include a dead
or badly installed camshaft position sensor; valve
timing out of spec; sensor relearning required
with a scan tool; or a damaged tone wheel or pulse
ring. ImperialCrown wrote that the cam position is
used mainly to synchronize fuel injectors, the
crank position is needed to know when to spark. A
good scan tool can usually pick up the problem by
monitoring the sensors; a bad one will sometimes
get “lost.” Timing chain and water pump sensors
can cause the code to be set (if timing marks are
out of range).

I replaced both. Problem still remains. #3 is the first to throw
a code, followed by #5 and then #1. Timing chain appears to
be tight. The weird thing is it won't start misfire until the
engine warms up. Idle seems fine. Compression check
indicated a little difference: C6=160, C4=155, & C2=150,
C5=140, C3=155, C1=160. Doesn't burn oil; drops it, doesn't
burn it. No water in oil. Any ideas?

COMPRESSION TEST YOU DUMB A$$. CHECK YOUR BABRECUE IGNITER TO SEE IF ITS HOT ENOUGH. THEN SHAKE THE F#$K OUT OF YOUR BABY TILL HIS BRAIN RATTLES LIKE AN OLD CAN OF BOLTS. THEN GIVE HIM YOUR TOOLS IF HES CONCIOUS AND HAVE HIM CHECK THE RESISTENCE OF THE WIRES TO YOUR CIGARETTE LIGHTER. IF IT SHOWS .43 RETURN VOLTS THEN THERES YOUR PROBLEM. IT SHOULD BE .44 IN ANY CASE YOUR HEAD IS CRACKED JUST LIKE THE BABY'S AFTER YOU DROPPED HIM OFF THE BALCONY LIKE MICHAEL JACK OFF SON.

The problem turned out to be a bad plug wire on #3. I also had poor wire on the #6. So, given this trouble was related to two things: the campshaft position sensor was faulty and the #3 plug wire was bad.

Hi I got a motor for my 02 dakota 3.9 from a junk
yard had a mechanic put it in then come to find
out the 3 5 cylinder misfiring. Put new plug
wires and plugs, and distributor and rotor in it.
Can it be a sensor or fuel injector? Anybody got
any idea's? TY Fred
