Does the CEL work?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

If the timing belt slips a tooth or two, the cam and crank are no longer in synch:

By doing this I have to take off my valve cover? I just replaced it today. Will I have to by a new gasket also? I just got a cel and it threw the code for the crankshaft positioning sensor. Is that hard to replace? Or can I clean it, and make it new?

This^ is the problem. Measure the resistance of the CKP sensor. It should be 350-700 Ohms. If not, replace the distributor housing.
