Jeff,
p1391 is an intermittent fault for cam/crank sensors and could possibly be a connector/wiring harness issue. Additionally I would call chrysler w/ your vin # to see if there were any TSB's or service bulletins requiring a "reflash" of your PCM

Suggested Repair

Inspect the cam and crank sensor connectors and wiring harness for an intermittent fault. Also contact Chrysler with the VIN to check for TSBs or a PCM reflash.
