'94 K8 ECM bad input

My ECM crank angle sensor got fried when the timing belt idler pulley bolt broke, and the pulley clawed it's way out, shorting the sensor harness.

I've fixed the timing belt, and replaced the sensor, but the ECM does not see it. (yes, I reset the error code). The car is running ok, on the sensor in ...

Re: High fuel consumption

Now i check to front o2 censor, blue pin and gnd. It says -0,02 volt constant, and when i do the same thing on the back censor the volt continuous goes between 0 and 0,9. So i think that the front o2 censor must be dead?`

Re: Engine overheat damage?

You might as well try it. Mine overheated a few years ago due to Thermostat failure, but I shut it off right away. Then, about a month ago, it happened again, due to not haveing enough antifreeze.

Re: nearly stalling... any ideas?

I'm not sure the 4-cyl has an idle air control, but that would be my first guess, stuck or broken.
