Intermittent Jerking / Stalling, but idles fine Sign In

98' Dodge Neon 2.0 - 160,000 MILES

I've just completed a Code check (Listed At Bottom) per the following symptoms

Just purchased a 98' - Ran like a top for a week. Then the problem GRADUALLY started.... a jolt here & then - 2 or 3 times in 10 miles at highway speed for about 3 days. Checked fuel pressure - fine @ 50 lbs. at idle. Car starts fine, revs-up fine STANDING STILL.

NOW, upon acceleration, it coughs, pops & dies - with hard restart. Starts fine the next day, but starts jolting again soon after departure.

* I've changed pump relay.... wasn't that.

* Battery & Check-Engine lights are on. But charging checks-out @ 14.2

CODE CHECK AS FOLLOWS:

11 - Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor, No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking.

12 - Direct battery input to PCM was disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles

44 - Battery temp sensor volts out of range

41 - Generator field not switching properly

54 - No Cam signal at PCM

43 - Multiple/ single cylinder misfire

The first thing I would do is get to the bottom of that cam sensor code. You really need a lab scope to diagnose it properly but it's probably a bad sensor. After that you will need a scan tool to get a better picture of what is happening.
