It started with code P0016, replaced both cam & crank sensor for code. Lasted about a week then started again same code, sensors and wiring are ok. Now when you drive van under acceleration it pulses/ hesitation, returned home popped open hood. Pulled throttle body open and did same thing almost like it was misfiring.

your cam and crank sensors are not in sync. A pro has to use his scanner to put them back in sync

I would suspect that you have a bad flex plate.it's possible that you have a bad reluctor also.but cracked flexplates are a very common issue and cause for this code on those engines.i would suggest that you have it diagnosed at a shop, because you need a lab scope for this diagnosis.
