1998 dodge/intrepid 2.7 Liter mileage: 92,500. My friend was backing out of a parking lot when the car just shut off. It will not start back. The engine rotates and hits but will not actually start. In checking out different things, I unplugged the camshaft position sensor and the car starts, I went and bought a new camshaft position sensor and put it on, vehicle still wouldn’t start, I unplugged it again and the car starts, but as soon as the camshaft position sensor is plugged back in the car shuts off. Any suggestions? Please Help.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you; took me a while to figure out what's wrong.........First thing I would check is if there are any vacuum leaks in the vicinity of the engine. Next thing I can think of is that if the engine runs if the cam sensor is unplugged is one of two things.........a faulty PCM or you could have a bad tone ring on your camshaft. If you get a chance have the car taken to a dealer and ask the cam sensor is working within proper parameters.

The PCM is not faulty. --that was checked--The car's PCM is designed to go into Limp mode and start if the camshaft position sensor is not in. I will ask the dealer about the vacuum leaks. I still need help..
