Engine Speed Sensor = Crankshaft Position Sensor.
I know the RENIX ones tend to last 150Kmiles or so (1987-1990,) but I'm not sure about the later HO ones. I do know they can be changed with the manifolds in place - it's just a bigger pain to do, as you have to sneak up past the transfer case with a long brace of extensions (or get lucky like I did - and score a 30" drive extension for ten bucks...)

I am almost always against changing parts unless they fail testing, however, in your case, if you can afford it, I would change the sensor and keep the old one for a spare--that way when the new one fails on the trail you won't have to walk home.

Being you have a '92 (old), and these are known to fail fairly often, maybe it's a good idea to change it. If it won't start, you can always put the old one back in. But if you don't want to go to the parts store, don't.

Not to hijack a thread, but is there any preferred CPS(CKP) brand??
