Hello - my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* there is an open or short in the harness, or the #7 coil driver is failed in the PCM - the code is for coil #7 not firing long enough - if the original coil you replaced caused the failure, it probably shorted the primary coil driver in the PCM - the harness has to be checked first for any opens or shorts before condemning the PCM - especially if it is an intermittent failure

If it’s the driver in the pcm that means I will have to replace the pcm or will it run just fine the way it is? Because I don’t nothing any miss firing or anything just the dash light is on?

You can drive it - the coil is firing, it just isn't firing long enough for PCM parameter - it just won't be as efficient - you really don't have to worry about it unless you start getting p03-- misfire codes - if it does turn out to be a driver issue, it would need a PCM

Hi there. Check the camshaft position sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/camshaft-position-sensor-replacement) and see if it has failed.

Hi there. When the codes P0420 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0420-obd-ii-trouble-code-catalyst-system-efficiency-below-threshold-bank-1-by-jamahl-walker) and P0430 (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/p0430-obd-ii-trouble-code-catalyst-system-efficiency-below-threshold-bank-2-by-spencer-clayton) come up, usually the catalytic converter has failed, but before you determine if you need to replace the catalytic converter, consider checking the following: A damaged or failed oxygen sensor...

Hello I have a 2004 Dodge [Ram 1500](/topics-ram-1500/) 5.7L I’m getting the p2320 code I have replaced wires plugs and the coil pack for number 7 but still getting the code after I reset the light it comes on a day or so after Mechanic's Assistant: Have you seen this code before? Have you tried a hard reset? I have not done a hard reset but I used a code reader to reset the code Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Ram 1500 yourself? What have you tried so far? Yes I have replaced the wires and boots, plugs and also replaced the coil pack for #7 Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Not at this time
