I really hope this email finds you well.
First I would like to say that I am a big fan, and I really love your video's.
I really hope you might be help me with an issue I am facing with my 2008 Dodge Journey 2.4 Engine.
It all started with the traction control and check engine lights suddenly coming on during a regular drive, making my car stall. A quick scan displayed code nr. p0335 - cranck sensor - so replaced my cranck sensor (Genuine Mopar part). After replacing it, I drived for about 20 miles with no issues.
The next morning, while starting my car, I suddenly had a rough 3-4 seconds start with again traction control and check engine lights coming on. I've reseted the code, and continued to drive with no problems for another 25 miles. Next morning, same scenario, but now after a short drive I had my car stalling again. I drove to my mechanic for a diagnostic check, and during his check he found misfires in cylinders 1 and 4. We ried to change between the coils, spark plugs (which are relatively new ones) and even the injectors to see whether the misfire will move to another cylinder, but it persisted and stayed in cylinders 1 and 4. According to the scanner, misfires were counted when starting the vehicle, no misfires when the engine is in idle, but when you hold the gas (basically whenever engine is above 1000 rpm), misfires jump up, and when the count in scanner gets to 200, cylinders 1 and 4 shut down, engine forges and engine light blinks. Shutting down and restarting the engine restarts the issue (check engine light stays on), and misfire count starts again from zero. We tried to locate any gasket leaks, clogging in the exhaust system and compression issues, but no issues found. Following all diagnostics, my mechanic suspects this is due to a failing cranckshaft reluctor wheel, but he is no quite sure about that.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could share from your experience and provide some guidance about what else could cause this and possible solutions.
I wasn't able to attach the files from the diagnostics unfortunately.
I appreciate your time in advance,
