You need to find out the code, don't just change parts.

I think there are some steps to do after replacing a crank sensor because the computer adjusted to the bad one or something. I had to do this before but I dont remember what is was. I think it was a GM vehicle. Just a thought.

Don't know about the 98s, but on many cars, you need to be careful about having the proper gap, too close and you brake it, too far won't get signal

If the light is off now, check compression.
