Dester,
I can feel it missing. To verify it, I pulled the plugs. They can tell you
a lot about how your engine is running. #3 was wet and black. Electrodes
indicated intermittent ignition. All the rest were burning nice and clean;
no fouling or deposits.

Subject: Re: DML: Crankshaft Position Sensor?

how are you indicating that your #3 cylinder is only firing 1/2 the time?
I'd like to know because my dakota feels like it's not firing sometimes.

about a week ago, I was driving and the "check engine" light flashed and I
got a code "11" which mean something like CPS can't be read, or too much
vibration. anyways. I haven't done anything else to it, (just after 3 key
cycles, it went away) and I reset the computer, and nothing to date)

<< Those of you that have had trouble with their crankshaft position sensor.
 What were your symptoms? My #3 cylinder is firing about half the time.
All
 other cylinders are firing fine. The cap, rotor, plugs and wires are fine.
 I'm going to check my compression tonight to eliminate the valves. I can't
 figure out what is causing this. Thought maybe something might be blocking
 the signal to the sensor. Yes, no, maybe??? Any ideas?
