So I Bought my 97 (231k miles)about 4 months ago from a mudder and its been a bit problematic. When he sold it to me he was having trouble with a P0340 camshaft position sensor where the engine would stall, throw a code and occasionally idle rough. He put a new non-OEM dizzy on with a new CPS built in and it seemed to be working fine. It happened again after a few weeks of ownership and so i took it in for some coolant problems and the mechanic said the dizzy looked weird so he re-installed it and did the timing and it was working great for a while and now im stalling out again. Randomly the engine shuts off (no dash indication other than tach) and then if im going fast enough (freeway) it usually fires back up, mostly without a code. It seems to do it under load or WOT. at first I thought it was the fuel pump or fuel pump relay but It did it again last night and threw a code so I had it read this morning and got a P0340 CPS light again. The light was out on my commute this morning but it was idling poorly (250-300 rpm at times) and it cut out again on the freeway. Its getting more common and its a real problem for the times I want or need my wife to drive it.
Is there anything else that would though this code? I.e. since the engine stalls out and refires its not calibrated anymore or something? I was thinking about getting a new Fuel Pump relay just because of age and testing the Fuel pump via the manual but is there a chance its still the dizzy? or maybe something is shorting out my CPS? Any thoughts?
