I searched on tuners and came up with 1-2 threads that describe my problem but seems they are worried about another sensor.

I have a 98 Gs-T spyder, Late last night I realized that a sensor had broken off, at the end of the Intake Cam on the left hand side closest to the battery.

Car would turn on and simply turn right off. Called a buddy and pick up the same sensor.

As a result this morning turned on the car perfect about 10 blocks away from my house, It suddenly turns off. Pull in to a parking lot, and it I turn it on and just shuts right off as if the sensor I replaced isn't even there.

Any clue if there is a certain way to place the inside of the sensor.
Here's a picture

FYI i forgot to put the motor at TDC before replacing the sensor.

Here it is broken, before I replaced it.

And this is where I am now. The one I got is on, but I dont know if it goes like that or if it goes the other way around with the longer side on top....
