This is on my chrysler 300m. Kept stalling while driving. At times would not start back up. Then the next day it started right up.

Yes, the crankshaft sensor works in conjunction with the camshaft sensor to provide the ignition spark and fuel delivery. There are other sensors that are involved as well, but typically when you have a "no start" situation, it would revolve the main sensors in the system. The Electronic Control Module (ECM-[computer]) has a built in program to allow the engine to continue running a short time in order to drive to a repair facility. If the sensor has faulty wiring or has a crack in it, that could explain why it started the next day. The rule of thumb is that on a diagnostic readout, they are usually 99.9% accurate.

I think that the diagnostic would say that the crankshaft sensor was bad. And yes, that is a valid diagnostic code and it will cause the symptoms you're having.

I had a "crank sensor" go on my car. Fairly common problem.

ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS. REPLACE CRANK SENSOR.
