Archived 2001 has rough idle

[6paccuda]

My 2001 24v has a rough idle. It is like a miss and I have heard that these trucks have had a problem with the cranksensor and I wonder if that would give it a rough idle or a no start.

Read the top entry on that page. Your suspicions may be justified.

'01/'02s don't have the CKP-crank, only the CMP-cam sensor. It would not cause a no start situation since the VP44 has a rotation sensor for initial start up.

I am only having the problem after I drive it. When I first start it it runs fine, but it is after I drive if for a while and then stop, that is when I notice the stumble or rough idle.

It may be your camshaft position sensor. That will cause that problem.

did you ever fix this problem,



I have the same rough idle!



I'm about ready to replace the camshaft sensor



am i wasted my time?



BTW-the service manager said truck runs normal, said he has no reason to check camshaft sensor
