One of the test procedures regarding the crankshaft sensor indicates that a malfunction could be due to "Contaminated position segments on the flywheel disk" (metal swarf). Metal swarf are metal shavings or metal dust that will adhere to the flywheel "disk position segments". My thinking is that since the sensor itself generates its own voltage via the "position segments", if those segments are somehow contaminated with metal shavings, it could possibly overload the sensor itself causing it to burn out prematurely.
