I just replaced one for a problem that had had me flummoxed. My 95 Plymouth Voyager 3.3 liter drove fine most of the time but on rare occasions wouldn't respond momentarily to the throttle. Also, after driving a long time, especially on a hot day, it would cut out when idling. After a rest, it would be OK again, at least for a while. My mechanic gave up after checking fuel pressure and MAP sensor but suggested the crank sensor next. I found the wiring lead to the crank sensor pulled taut from the position of the wiring harness and insulation at the base of the sensor brittle and wires partly broken and shorting. Now the van runs fine.
