Yep when that fails you can't start because the car will have no idea when to fire the spark or I suppose fuel.

Definitely measure and gap/shim. They are stupidly sensitive. They can detect how much the rotation slows between power strokes with enough detail to know when a cylinder didn't put out the power expected of it so they are extremely sensitive to the bumps on the reluctor. That tech amazes me
That is amazing. I assumed they simply allowed the DME to count rpm. CKP…good info. Sounds like there are different types too? Something called a Hall sensor, and an older tech?

I put two new cam sensors in the new motor, but reused the old Crank sensor for some reason.
