Pulse, reference, speed, whatever sensor

I pulled mine out, and it is reading 350ohms. Could this be the reason my car isn't starting? Why would a pulse sensor only last 106k miles :x ? It doesn't look to be damaged, and when I changed my timing belt I cleaned it off so it could get clear readings.

It supposed to have resistance, couldnt find the spec but it sounds about right.
Its a magnet with a long coil of wire around it.

what year is your car.. 88 and later only have one sensor, and the reistance is supposed to be ~540 ohms, +/- 40. the early cars are different though.

Usually what happenes is you'll acidentally yank the wire while doing the timing belt and that will kill the sensor.

or you don't put it back properly, and it starts rubbing on something.. that insulation is only so thick.
