Rapid flashes indicates the computer sees nothing wrong. The sensor coming out of the EGR valve is the EGR temp sensor. That sensor has nothing to do with driveability or starting.

The coil is good.

There is no crank position sensor on the 3VZ-E. The timing can be off 180* if it has been screwed around with. Remove the upper timing cover to check for cam timing and t-belt tension. Once the cover is off you'll be able to time the distributor too. Have you checked the ignition coil's resistance?

Check the ohms on the ign coil. They tend to fail in a way that still allows them to make a spark in the air when you pull the wires, but don't have enough juice to light up the spark plugs.

The sticker sets that thing off! I like it.

I'm so glad they ditched those ****** looking headlights on the 2006-2008 Ram trucks.

I like pissing off snowmobilers because I don't have one. I might reconsider my position if I had one.

Not anymore. Dodge has fixed the problems of the past when climate control knobs, instrument clusters and window switches failed. Now, they've taken a page out of Ford's book and successfully found a way to make a Cummins motor into a huge piece of **** by installing failure prone injectors, VG...

Cut the trans tunnel out and make a new one. That's way easier than putting on a shitty body lift.

They SHOULD last a whole lot longer than they do. Dodge can't seem to get the durability of their solid front axles right. We're replacing them on a daily basis where I work, even on brand new ones.

ASE Certified Master Tech chiming in here. I'm out here in Wenatchee and I specialize in the 3VZ engine. Let me know if you're interested. I have about 300 references available.

Time to install black smoke!

Ah, someone that knows more than me. Thanks for chiming in. That does make some sense though. I've known that the 4-conductor system, if used in the aforementioned way, does leave open the possibility of a dangerous situation occurring. But, I always figured it was one of those one in a...

If you want a temperature difference, install another transmission cooler.

Protip: If you do branch 110v circuits off a 220v circuit, make sure you do it with a 4-conductor cable.
