No, sorry it won't.
Your car, as I'm sure you know, is set up on a Distributorless Ignition System. The DIS/EI ignition system uses a magnetic crankshaft sensor and a reluctor to determine crankshaft position and engine speed. The reluctor is a special wheel cast into the crankshaft with several machined slots. A specific slot on the reluctor wheel is used to generate a sync pulse.
The camshaft sensor, used on some engines, provides a cam signal to identify correct firing sequence. The crankshaft sensor signal triggers each coil at the proper time.
So all this said the cam sensor and crank sensor work "together" and one sensor can't take the place of the other.
To remove the sensor you need to:
Disconnect the negative battery cable
Raise the vehicle
Remove the starter
Unplug the crank sensor from the wiring harness
Remove the bolt holding it in
To Install the cranksensor you need to:
Put the sensor in the hole the old one came from, if it has a piece of cardboard on the end leave it there, it's a spacer.
Replace the bolt and tighten to 70 in lbs
Plug the sensor into the harness
Reinstall the starter
Let your car back down
Put the negative battery cable back on and tighten it
Start the car and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.
Hope this helps.

nope. if one isn't working the car isn't running. the most problems with those 3.1 is the module behind the coil packs. its about a $325.00 dollar part. if you take it off your car and take it to a auto parts store they can test it for free to tell you if its bad before you by a new 1. if you got to replace the crank sensor it is on the back of the block in the middle and half way up from the bottom. they are in there tight so this is what i do. remove the bolt holding it in and break the plastic off the sensor with a pry bar so all you have is the 2 wires hanging out. then hook a small pair of vise grips to the wires and use the pry bar on the block pushing out on the vise grips the the sensor pops right out. as far as the module behind the coil packs disconnect the battery and take the stater out. take a sharpie and mark your plug wires from left to right 1 to 6 so you know how to put them back on. take the wires off and there is 3 bolts holding the module and coil packs on. don't remove the little 7mm bolts in the coil packs. there should be 3 13mm bolts 1 at the 3 o clock position 1 at the 6 o clock position and one at The 11 o clock position. oh yeah there is 3 quick disconnect electric plugs on the module to. don't worry about rem where they go they are different from each other.

No if the crank shaft possitioning sensor is bad the car won't run and you should have a check engine light on.

in all likelihood you lost spark or gas. you will would desire to do a gas tension verify and purchase a ignition tester. The gas tension tester maximum vehicle factors shops lease them with a refundable deposit. they are able to print out "the thank you to" data or extra valuable yet purchase a fix handbook.

No, if either one goes out, the engine will not run or will not run right.
