I have the car listed above and I took it to AutoZone and had it put on the code because the check engine light was on and it was running rough. It came back as a bad crank sensor. Would that make the car run rough and if I change the sensor will it stop running rough?

Hello, I'm Danny.

Yes, a faulty crankshaft position would cause your car to run roughly and turn the check engine light on. Here are tutorials showing operation, testing, and replacement:
