A mechanic said that there was no crankshaft sensor? Unbelievable. Safe to say you were being had in that instance.

Whoever changed it first time around may not have fitted the correct part or it could be a wiring fault.

Or it could also be the reluctor wheel, which is basically a toothed ring which spins around with the end of the crankshaft and sends a signal to the crankshaft position sensor which tells the ECU the position of TDC and how fast the crankshaft is spinning. If one of the teeth are broken then it might return a fault code. Easy enough to check with the timing cover off.
