No-it has nothing to do with it-

Yes, if the computer is not getting a signal from the crank sensor it will not activated the fuel pump.

How you figure this-Please explain-The crankshaft position sensor jobs is to identify the position of the piston so that it will tell the computer to fire the coil/s. The Camshaft sensor synchronizes the fuel injector. The fuel pump relay/circuit opening relay and oil pressure/inertia switch are used to control the fuel pump-

On a Chrysler vehicle there is no oil pressure or inertia switch. If the PCM does not have a valid crank sensor reading it shuts down the ASD relay, which powers the entire fuel system.

I Didn't know, I was dealing with a Chrysler product here or a Dodge/Plymouth-Yes I'm aware of what the Auto Shutdown Relay does with the ignition coils/fuel injectors on these vehicles-On some of these vehicles the ASD relay powers the fuel pump relay to activate the fuel pump as far as I know-Anyway I'm not a Chrysler expert thanks for sharing the knowledge of the CPS
