Default crankcase sensor / fuel pump

Changing the crank case positioning sensor was a bloody knuckle cuss fest. It is located on the drivers side on the top close to the bell housing, but good luck trying to see it of even touching it from the top side.
I had to remove the front drive shaft for better angle from underneath. It has a metal shield covering it, but the 10 mm bolt holds the cover and sensor both. I had to use a box end wrench , witch you can barely get on or turn, might be best done with 2 people, one on top with a swivel socket and extension, and the person on the bottom to guild the socket.

After all that and it didn't solve my problem. Looks like the fuel pump is the culprit, and it must have been heating up and failing. I thought it was heat related to the engine.
I sprayed starting fluid in the intake and it started and and ran just fine.

Now is there a pump to avoid?
I have seen prices from 48 to 300.
