ShutRuns for 15 mins then shut off. I have to wait for 15 to 20 mins before it starts back up.

Well its a common part to do just that. I don't like to just change parts . If you have a scope we could test it. As far as replacing it . Remove the engine crank shaft pully the is a large bolt holding it on. After you slide it off there are 2 bolts holding on the sensor . Its not to hard. You will have to find a way to hold the engine when cracking free the crank bolt.make shore you line the sensor up with the blades om the back of the pulley.
