After replacing the cam position sensor with a 3rd party part from AdvanceAuto, the problem came back. I then replaced it with a Mopar cam position sensor. It cost a lot more ($50). This was in June/2019. The problem never came back. I'm sure I just jinxed myself and the engine code will be back :)

The amp has been SOLD. Thank you Ron!!

You were probably using a ft-lbs torque wrench instead of a in-lbs wrench. Just a guess :)

If anyone is interested, i have a Kicker 200W PX200.1 amp. I bought it when i was troubleshooting my factory sub-woofer. I wound up finding a loose ground wire to the sub-woofer wiring harness. So, i never used it or returned it. I bought it on Amazon for $100. I'd be willing to sell it for $75...

Well.. it's been just about a year and the problem is back. The dreaded P0344. So.. i guess the cam shaft sensor is bad again. The good news is no P0340.

So, I finally got around to replacing the OPDA. I took the advice of those who said to use the existing sensor with the new assembly. The test drive after install failed miserably. The same symptoms associated with bucking after 2500 RPMs were still there. So, I decided to replace the old sensor...

JGill- Thank you for this information. I just got back from a trip to home Depot in my 05 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon when out of the blue it was doing the same thing you described. Check engine light with the same code and bucking just like you described. I was worried as hell thinking something...

I bought the subwoofer speaker that Quadratec sells for $89. It works really well. Sounds very good as far as I'm concerned. Certainly nothing crazy in terms of high tech audio. But it's got good bass response. I also found the source of my problem with my factory subwoofer assembly that I had...

Thanks for the reply.. much appreciated. I think i'll just deal with no bass control since i plan to replace the factory radio in the very near future.

Well.. look at that, it's no longer showing 'out of stock' at Amazon. WhaHOO! - Just ordered the amp! I've already got a speaker. Thanks!!

Thanks RGTJ24.. very helpful info. I was wondering where the source input was coming from to feed the amp. Now i know.. thank you!! I too.. have the factory stereo and when my sub amp/speaker harness in the console is disconnected, the stereo works fine out of both the front and back (soundbar...

How did you rewire it to the Kicker amp? The 12-pin outs include wires for all the speakers. That's the confusing part since when it's disconnected all the other speakers work. Or.. did you connect the amp input directly from your head unit?

How did you wire in from the sub-woofer wiring harness that's under the console and goes to the factory sub/amp? I replaced the speaker. But, the amp is a POS. It only works sometimes.. driving me crazy. I want to replace it.

Mine is a 2005 Rubicon 4.0L. Same issue.. cold start, oil pressure gauge reads zero. Then, shortly after, the 'check gauges' indicator pops up. I shut it off, restart, and it seems to work normally. This went on for a few days. After finding the extremely helpful posts here, I decided to replace...
