Unfortunately, replacing a sensor only fixes the problem about half the time. The code means the computer is not getting a signal from the sensor, not that the sensor has failed.
The problem could be in the wiring, or the part that the sensor gets the signal from.

crank sensors are usually located in/near the distributor.

Dear Mike: Nissan has a Technical service bulletin out on problems with high idle.
Reference # NTB05-067 This procedure unfortunately, is one which will take a skilled professional with the proper equipment.
The Nissan Dealer has a diagnostic tool called a "CONSULT-11"
and shops like mine that spend the money on the equipment and software AND TRAINING>>>> can more efficiently address the problem. Even if the shop has a higher labor rate, it may be less expensive to solve the problem if they know what they are doing.
I often get calls from people wanting to know how much my shop charges per hour for diagnostics? I try to get across to them that the hourly rate doesn't always guarantee that they will get a less expensive repair. Then I give them an example: The shop ABC Auto repair down the street charges $10.00 an hour for diagnostics and Shop XYZ charges $100. for diagnostics. Shop ABC has kids who have difficulty figuring out where the hood latch is let alone how to solve the problem. It takes them 10 hours to eventually solve the problem which relates to $100.00. Shop XYZ assigns the car to a seasoned tech who knows the product and has the problem solved in 1/2 hour. Ever though shop XYZ is 10 times more expensive on their diagnostic rate, they were 50% cheaper on their repair! (SORRY TO WANDER OFF THE PATH )
In any case, this is one situation that I feel is best left to a seasoned pro who will take the time to check the technical service bulletins which the shop you had it at should have researched from the start. Had they done that, they could have told you that there were quite a few TSB's out on your car pertaining to performance and safety issues including voluntary recalls. We always check TSB's and if there is a recall & we advise the customer of it. I could take advantage of the customer and make the money on the repair, but would rather gain the trust, confidence and loyalty of that customer. Not to mention the word of mouth it brings!
I hope I have helped you some. If not, let me know a little more detail on the symptoms: Does it surge, while driving does it do it under all conditions or only at operating temp? You get the picture.
SOURCE: I recently replace the crank shift sensor, but
switch on your car but don't start it, let it stay in that position for a few minutes. after start your car, if starts without problems then your problem is your fuel pump. but if problem is still there then it could be your fuel filter or timing of your car.

should shut off after 40 unfaulted key cycles or with battery un hooked for half hour if runs good dont be scared to drive it that wont hurt it at all

In the kit there are two sensor that look identical. The one for the crankshaft has a white paint mark on it near the bolt hole. Make sure that it is in the right location.
