2004 Crossfire: My engine codes showed an issue with my Crankshaft Position Sensor. I replaced it a while back with an after market sensor. It ran fine for a while and then the engine developed the same problem. I replaced it under warranty and it was fine for another 6 months or so, then I replaced it again. Now it cuts off too often. When I move the wire with my fingers or a tool, it will cut the engine off. Thinking this could be a faulty plug or wire, I purchased a wiring harness (used) and cut off the plug and about 5 inches of wire, and soldered it in place. This did not fix the problem. Perhaps the wire is bad above where I cut it.


Has anyone else experienced this issue. I read in CrossFire forums that you have to replace the sensor with an OEM from Chrysler or Mercedes, or with a Bosch one. Seems like the sensor is fine though and something is wrong with the wire. Could it still be the sensor? Chrysler wants $240 for their sensor, with a non-refund policy.
