Well... the car shouldn't start without the sensor on there.
Was there anything else done or was this a simple matter of taking the old sensor off and putting the new one in its place?

And I do have to ask... did you remember to plug it in (securely) after you replaced it?

I think you should have your buddy check out.......checked out.....

Assuming all else is fine, I would make some sort of attempt to reset your PCM, as that is what the CPS/CKP is connected to. All I can suggest is to remove the battery cable for awhile to let it clear itself and try starting it later. See if Ford can tell you if there is a way to reset the PCM. Also check all of your fuses, wiring to the PCM. Dunno.

I suggest keeping your buddies away from your car and keys.
