I will put this here again in case you didn't read it or overlooked it----------------------did you have your fuel pressure checked at the rail?
Symptoms of a failing crankshaft sensor---- Acceleration Problems
As the engine speeds up, there needs to be adjustments to spark timing and fuel injection. Without accurate input from the crankshaft sensor, the engine control unit (ECU) can't make these adjustments as well as it should. This can result in slow or uneven acceleration.
Reduced Gas Mileage
Without accurate timing information, fuel injection won't occur as efficiently as it should. That means the engine will need to use more gas and your morning commute will use up more fuel than usual.
Engine Misfires
Lack of proper spark timing can cause a different problem: one or more of the cylinders may misfire. That is to say combustion may be disrupted. You will feel, and maybe hear, this as a brief stutter in the engine.
Rough Idling
You might feel that the engine runs rough or vibrates at idle, say, when you're sitting at a red light. This is similar to the above in that it stems from poor spark timing.
Stalling
As seen with rough idling, sometimes crankshaft position sensor problems are worse at low engine speeds. Sometimes the engine might even stall out entirely at low speed if the fuel injectors aren't giving it the fuel it needs.

Been driving it around all day with a new crank sensor and spark plugs also changed the oil. So far so good fingers crossed still. Was able to drive it up to 85 And hi revs with out a misfire. We shall see...

Good deal man you see even though you didn't get a code for this crank sensor they usually give out a code when they go out it get can confusing when there is no code just like in my situation same thing misfires every cylinder i replaced the crank sensor and its been running great ever since.

Re: 1998 V70R Random Misfire
Good deal man glad this solved your issues its really ironic when you dont have a check engine code specifically for the crankshaft position sensor and then you replace it and everything clears up.
