Fun... My 99 Chev with 3.1 threw the crank sensor codes after a replaced balancer (outer ring slipped 3/4", throwing belt). Knowing balancer was new, eventually replaced both crank sensors, cam sensor, balancer a 2nd time (still warrantied), and timing gears/chain. End result after taking it to a shop in frustration was that the slotted ring on the balancer had been pressed in too far, causing the crank sensor to occasionally lose the trigger signal.

Autozone parts - it sucks to buy new parts that were manufactured incorrectly.
