Re: crank position sensor?
If you have an OBDII car, you need to have the crank position sensor functional. You didnt give us any car info...you screen name implies you have a 95, that OBDI and doesn't have a crank position sensor.

Since the opti can discern the Cam position with 1/720th of a rotation it can be used to emmulate the CPS very accurately. As long as the timing is set correctly.
98+ need the CPS.....

I'm running a 96 engine in my 95; just leave the sensor in place (to block the hole in the timing chain cover); there's no mating connector in the 95 harness as it wasn't used therefore no issue.

Re: crank position sensor?
I have not ran in my last few combos with no issues. In fact, even if I did have it plugged in, I have a washer where the plate used to be taking up the space.
It is not needed.

, and you know what I didn't even get a light, but that's probably due to the "export" PCM having some error codes disabled.
