Yea so tried all and looks like my next buy is a dizzy well hopefully this fixes the issue. I took off the dizzy and noticed the metal thing on the end that goes into the hole was wobbly could that cause the issue ?

The piece that engages the slot in the camshaft is supposed to wobble some.

If it failed the resistance test that means the sensor inside is bad, not a mechanical problem.

just remember that your car comes with 2 different setups dpfi and mpfi
look at the intake manifold and it will say dpfi or it will say mpfi
the dpfi dont have crank position sensors and the mpfi do...
so the dizzy's are different when getting parts.

Ya I checked it out and it is pgmfi so the crank sensor is in the dizzy itself, just trying to find a decent price for one.

Great news, my buddy had an extra dizzy around and sold it to me for $40 so I got it installed and the car runs great now. Just have to get some tags for it and good to go. So excited to have it back and running.

Ya so I just replaced the driver window and now the dizzy so everything is pretty good. Going to sand blast it down as there is a little rust by the gas tank opening and going to repaint her. Then do the window tint on it.
