Jack, the sensor is most likely fine. With the DVM you measure the RMS voltage of the sensor. With an oscilloscope you measure peak-to-peak. With a sine wave the peak-to-peak value is 2.8 *RMS. See here:


(amazing how smart google is..... )

I believe the loose +12V is what caused your issues. It is probably what supplies power to the injectors and coil packs and with that supply compromised I can see an intermittent no-start.
