Don't think it's really a big deal.....does the car run okay?

The sensor could be failing, it could affect ignition

At least on the 5V engine, that sensor provides the high resolution crankshaft position signal for ignition timing. If its signal is weak, it could be failing, and I don't know if the engine runs badly or not at all without it. So I'd replace it if its wiring and connections appear okay.

If it goes bad, the 32 v engine gives a default signal

Can't remember how it works.....but it will default something. This would lower performance.

Yes engine seems to be running OK. It is just the vibration that was happening right before stop...

Where is this sensor located. Is it easy replacement?
