For the 4.7L v8 (I couldn't find any listings for 4.9L): 2000- early 2002 Durango, 2000- early 2002 Dakota, 2002 Ram 1500, 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In later part of 2002, Durangos and Dakotas changed the reluctor/cam gear on the right camshaft for the cam pickup sensor, and changed the tone wheel on the crankshaft from 16 tooth to 32 tooth.
The camshaft position sensor is located on the distributor for all engines designed for the 1998 Dodge Dakota. Accessing the sensor requires removing the distributor cap and the distributor rotor. The camshaft sensor pigtail comes through the front of the distributor and connects to the engine wiring harness above the intake manifold.
P0344 - "Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent" It could only be a glitch if you've received the code only once. Sometimes something as simple as an engine misfire could cause the the sensor to misinterpret a problem. As the camshaft normally has at least two sensors monitoring it, it's unusual that there would be only one sensor indicating a problem. Firstly, try clearing the code... you can do this by using a code reader which can be purchased for your own use; or by taking your truck to a place like Advance Auto Parts and they'll do it for free. Just do not let people advise you that disconnecting the battery will clear it, often the only thing that does is deactivate the Check Engine light but the code will remain written in the computers RAM until cleared manually. If the code comes back later after you've had it cleared, or appears multiple times, then there is most likely an issue with the sensor itself (as the code description implies) and will need to be replaced. These sensors are fairly inexpensive, but unless you have mechanical know-how, i'd suggest you let a trusted dealership take care of that. It shouldn't take more than an hour at most to replace it
The cam sensor on the 4.7 is located toward the forward edge of the right cylinder head (passenger side). This has a 3 wire connector, tan/with yellow tracer is sensor signal, black / light blue tracer wire is sensor ground and the orange is the 5V supply.
