crank sensors generally aren't a matter of how they "look" its about resistance values...when cold it has low resistance but when you get it hot thats when the resistance could spike which would cause the faulty or lack of a signal. They generally don't throw a code either, but at the same time when they get hot normally the car will stall, and not restart until the sensor cools...but, I'm with Josh...trying couldn't hurt...

You never mentioned what the deal was with the opti...you said you would check with your old one, but never got back to us on that, unless i missed it somewhere.
