crank position / RPM sensor 900

Had some recent stalling problems with my 940GLE with 240K on it.
When I had to stop for a stop sign or light sometimes it stalled. Cleaned the throttle body, seemed better for a day, then it wouldn't start at all.

Talked to the volvo mechanic, suggested replacing the crank position / RPM sensor (I think he called it a bell housing speed sensor).
Anyway, after installing it, the car started right up.
My question is, looking at the FAQ's, most posts indicate that when this sensor goes, it prevents a warm engine from restarting. Well, my car had sat over night when it wouldn't start, so the engine was stone cold. Just wondering if this part was really the problem, or if there is something else wrong that will soon show up again.

Thanks
