The coils checked good so I’m going to reuse them. I just picked up an ignition module that I paid way too much for so we’ll see what happens.

Yeah, it's not a fun job. I had the radiator and fans out of my International when I changed mine out. It was alot easier as I used a really long extension and just went thru the rad support and lower bumper opening to get access to the bolts. The later LQ1's starting in 96 I believe moved the packs and module up topside. Much nicer. Again, those packs with the white numbered firing order are unobtainable now. It took me a very long time to find an NOS set.

Whoopsie....

You were right it took out a chunk of the sensor without the sensor throwing a code. Plus the teeth were bent. 1 of the shortest videos I watched on the issue had a nice simple trick: If you crank and there's no rpm, you can bet it's the crank sensor. Otherwise there will be some rpm registered.

The balancer ate part of the belt, bent the teeth, took out a chunk of the crank sensor. I'll try to post pics. Meantime I couldn't find the fabled "key" so I just aligned the notches on the shaft and pulley and it now starts. Is there supposed to be an actual key?

No, Jim’s just being an ass. That probably came off of one his trashy-assed girlfriends’ car.
