What is your question?
This is a 3.0 LXI coupe model. The car would not start, then after a few cycles of the key started up. Now it will not start at all. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and have the car together enough that it should start. I tried jumping the battery. My code scanner says no codes stored now. I disabled the battery b4 removing the sensor. When I turn the key the dash lights dim and the radio loses power. There is also a single click that seems to come from under the hood. Does anyone know this one.

From your description, it appears that your battery is failing or you have a poor, lose or corroded battery cable. Have your battery load tested by a reputable repair shop. It may show 12 volts, but if there is not enough amperage in the battery to accomidate any loads, the condition you describe is feasable. Any codes stored in you powertrain control module will be erased when battery voltage is disconnected. As for your code P0335, there is not one listed in the diagnostics manual. Could it be P0355? (Ignition coil #5 primary circuit) which would not affect your concern.
The battery is fairly new so I tested voltage to the small wire on the starter. 11.8 volts. I removed the starter and had it tested. It failed i replaced the starter. Now after tightening the belts a little tighter after replacing the crankshaft position sensor The car dies on stopping or when the a/c is switched off. I had been noticing a low idle b4 I had the no start problem. p0335 is crankshaft position sensor bank A. I was told that this code should not set because of a malfunctioning starter. But it did set again after I replaced it and the starter had not yet been replaced. Has not been back since the starter was replaced. I am going to try cleaning the throttle plate for the stalling condition. Thank you for your answer. I have had a problem with corrosion at the battery terminals causing it to lose its connection in the past.
