What your showing may not be good enough? I'd replace the sensor. I hate to see you throw parts at it, but, I don't know where else to look.

Ok just for the hell of it I checked the other sensors (crank and cam)both ohm out and both are sending volt signals on a scale of 20 ohms while cranking everything hooked up abot 3.4 to 7volts when standing at contact point on crank ar cam 10.9 or higher.I believe the 2 wire crank sensor is bad since it doesnt ohm out and only sends up to.5 ac volts when cranking. Ehat do you think?

You don't leave the sensor hooked up to do an ohms test. Maybe I misunderstood your post? From what I read, the two wire sensor sounds bad.

On my last mess, I meant on a scale of 20 volts while cranking. Also tested was the 24x crank sensor and cam sensor.

Thanks, I do have one more problem with the same car. It has the 2nd gear start, for more traction there is a button you push on the center consol. Every time I start the car and take off it stays in first gear, and till about 35 mph then shifts a little hard into second and the eng light comes on it shifts through the rest of the gears fine. But when I stop at a light it takes off in second (no first gear) like the second gear button is pushed. Now if I turn off car and start again it is back in first gear check eng light is off untill I go up to about 35mph and shifts hard again and eng light gos back on and so on. Any ideas? The trans fluid is nice and red no burnt smells.
