What about the teeth? those are the pickups ,telling your car brain alot of whats going on ,how much spark to give and when ,fuel,spark advance etc.
it has alot to do with your cars performance and idle as well.
The crankshaft position sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer. You will need a harmonic balancer puller and an impact wrench good for at least 750 ft pounds. Access the harmonic balancer through the passenger side wheel well. Remove the harmonic balancer center bolt and use the puller to remove the balancer. Use 1/4 - 28 X 3 inch bolts on the puller. The sensor is held with two screws. Be careful not to damage the weatherpack connector when releasing it from the sensor.
The crank sensor is located behind the Harmonic balancer. Try not to break the rubber within the Harmonic balancer when removing or on the safe side replace both the Crank sensor and the Harmonic balancer ( the big pulley on the bottom - most part of the engine.)

the crank sensor is behind the harmonic balancer
The harmonic balancer must be removed to change the sensor because the crank position triggering rings on the back of the balancer are entwined with the pick-up, Sorry
Behind the harmonic balancer. You will need to remove the right front tire, remove the access panel to the engine (through the wheel well), remove engine belt, remove harmonic balancer & pulley with a puller. Remove & replace crank sensor, align sensor with an alignment tool, replace balancer with an installer tool.. BE VERY careful with the balancer, the backside of it has a hall effect style blades. bending these blades will junk the balancer.
