Computer and code PO0016

Good morning.

This code is for crankshaft position sensor out of line with the camshaft sensor. This could mean a timing issue between the crank and the cam.

You may a streched or worn out timing belt.

You need to list the exact fault code numbers. The engine runs on the crankshaft position sensor up to 2,500 rpm, then it switches to the camshaft position sensor. If you have a scanner, you should be able to look at how those sensors are listed under "Inputs/Outputs". I have a Chrysler DRB3 for all of my vehicles. It lists those sensors with a "No" or "Present" to show whether their signals are showing up at the computer.
