The proper way to test them would be with a portable lab scope but on these sensors it's sometimes obvious when the sensor is removed. There is commonly physical damage that results in noise also. Sometimes the synchronizer develops a chirping noise and has to be replaced also.

It's installed where the distributor would normally be if it had one. https://www.2carpros.com/images/external/98560081.gif
