Crank sensor question

[B4C]

So I changed out my starter and now it cranks and cranks but wolnt start, I did disconnect the crank sensor and move the wires out of my way. I reconnected the batt and attempted to start the car w/o the crank sensor connected then I realized what I did and quickly plugged the sensor back in w/ the batt connected. Did I fry the sensor doing that?? I think I did.

I do not think that would damage a sensor. You may have damaged the leads. I'm not really sure what might happen if that is unplugged and you crank it, perhaps it flooded it? Just guessing on that.

I didnt smell fuel tho, and I inspected the connector and sensor for damage.

Sent ya a pm will the 6.0L sensor work in the f-body oil pan?? I think I might have bent the one pin, its hard to seat the connector and I cant see the pin from where I was laying on the ground. WTF!!! I need this car tomorrow morning!!!!!

Fixed it wires for crank sensor were laying on the headder and burnt thru, cut out the bad parts re-routed, and wire tires them between the block and dipstick tube to keep it off the block and headers.
