Contrary to public belief, the Check Engine light being illuminated anytime during the smog inspection is automatically a smog failure. Vehicle manufacturers have placed the Check Engine light inside the passenger compartment to inform the driver there has been or is an engine or drive train malfunction. Very often you may not notice an engine problem, but this is only because your engine's computer is operating under pre-programmed information rather then of real-time. In other words the problem still exists but your engine learns to live with it. To avoid spending hundreds down the road, the Check Engine light should be diagnosed as soon as possible by a reputable and certified auto repair station.
Our recommendation is you have a certified smog repair shop conduct a full system diagnosis. Along with the "Check Engine" light being illuminated, there are stored computer codes in the engine control computer which the smog station will be able to retrieve and use for diagnosing purposes. These codes more then often will direct the smog technician in finding the fault.
As far as this particular code... should it be a "Generic Powertrain Trouble Code" it represents... P0024 "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance.
It is recommend this condition be inspected by ONLY a certified and reputable smog check repair station, or the vehicle's manufacturer (dealership). This code indicates a defective sensor or mechanical problem with the camshaft.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If there is anything I can help with in the future, don't hesitate to e-mail at support@smogtips.com.

There must be a connection issue. Chrysler has alot of problems with their connectors, there ought to nicely be an replace to the harness for the sensor. gasoline/air mixture isn't continually pcv. you want to seem into mass air bypass sensor, intake gaskets, or only a vac leak. verify the connections and dangle in there.
