Just replace the crank sensor. It's a common problem.

If the sensor isn't fully seated, or otherwise faulty, the engine can indeed run like crap. Been there, done that.

Another "fun" thing that can happen is the sensor will lie to the ignition system, which will trigger the spark waaaay too early... like halfway up the compression stroke. This can literally demolish the inside of the starter if it happens to be engaged. Can't be good for the piston, rod, crankshaft either, I reckon.
