hi all
well i was having problems with it stalling on the road if you put to big of load on it to quick, (you had to barly touch the pedal to get anywhere or it would stall) i changed out the crank sensore and the coil after it stalled on the highway and wouldnt start up again, after i put these in it fired up right away and i thought i fixed it, it wasnt running the way it should have though really ruff ,now after stalling again and having to walk about 12miles the other night, i found a fuseable link that had burned out so i fixed this and started on my way home about 1 mile later the it stalled again and this time backfired (blowing my muffler apart)well turned out the coil pack that i just put on was cracked and defualty but some how i got it started again and tried to drive home . now from most threads ive read the crank or cam was the culpret but iv replaced the crank sensor and on the way home this time i had to floor it to get it to move at all now i have a couple of codes 27 and 43 , i dont have any real power to the van at all even after i put the new coil on i would still have to floor it to get it to move at all but the engine is running it dont seem to stall anymore either , other than stalling it ran great at first now its really ruff and has no power ,whats the deal pls help:banghead:

When you replaced the crank sensor, was there a little spacer in the box with it?
If not, try this..... take a washer and put it between the sensor and the block so the sensor does not go in all the way, my brother and I had similar problems with and Intrepid 3.3 and only by dumb luck did we figured that out, has not acted up since.
