My truck started misfiring. Put on the computer says crankshaft sensor. I put a new sensor, the truck would not start, replaced 3 other times. Put old sensor back on & truck will start. I have replaced plugs and fuel pump and filter. When the truck is cold it will barely run & misfires bad. When truck warms up it doesn't misfire as bad. Took truck to mechanic he can not find what is wrong. Thank You

Is the sensor properly adjusted? Are the wires firmly connected? Check and clean the EGR. Check compression.
