Message: [QUOTE="blickcd, post: 1568300, member: 40662"] SOLVED. I know this is an old thread but I had the same problem and checked here months ago. Random loss of power as if I had let off the throttle, WIF and wait to start lights would come on for a few seconds. Not long after that I would have normal throttle response. I was able to solve this but only after the situation deteriorated to a crank no start condition. Only then did I have a code for an open circuit on the camshaft position sensor. Checking that wiring connection, one of the two wires was broken at the plug, with insulation deteriorated or possibly chewed by rodents on the second wire. A replacement plug cost $95 and was spliced into the engine harness in just under an hour. You only need to remove the air filter to reach down to unplug the connector and pull it up to a point where you can make your splice. Have been driving the truck every day for two weeks and it runs good as new at 219,000 miles. You can visually check the plug and wiring from below. Look up a video on replacing that sensor to see the location. One final note, the crankshaft position sensor is on the other side of the engine behind the AC compressor. Even more difficult to see and probably just as accessible to rodents. If your cam position sensor wiring looks good, check the crank sensor wiring. The scan tool I used was a Snap-On Modis Edge, which I was able to borrow from my employer's fleet mechanic. Thanks, Perry! [/QUOTE]
