The crankshaft sensor is the one used by the computer to determine timing and sends a pulse to the RPM gauge. The sensor is 11 years old, they don't last forever in the heat/cooling cycles on the engine. Was the car hot when it failed on you? If so, once it cooled down, it probably would have started to work again.
