Temperature is not a consideration in diagnosis of the crankshaft position sensor (CPS). The temp vs. resistance readings are for the water temperature sensor.
The spliced-in test connection detailed by porkface is a useful tool for observing the output of the CPS; it allows the generated electrical pulse to be observed in real-time.

The M116/117 engines do not have a camshaft sensor.
Unfortunately the "information" in the PeachParts link is erroneous, and should be ignored; the magnetic pickup at the front of the engine is NOT connected to either the ECU or the EZL.
