If you replace the crank position sensor you have to get a re-learn done on it. Most shops with a better grade scanner can do that.

A re-learn? Isn't that some kind of pass-lock security feature Government Motors (GM) started putting on their 03+ vehicles? Cause I didn't think I had this on my 2k.

It takes a higher end OBDII scanner/communicator that most decent shops will have. They have to hook up to the OBDII port & run the vehicle/PCM through a re-learn procedure.

Here are a couple Google results
Crankshaft Position Sensor Learn Issues on Gen III Engines
GM Computer Relearn Procedure (including Crankshaft relearn)

If you replace the CKP it is necessary.

Have you tried what Rottidog said? I'm not sure about this now, but if the processor in the computer you installed needs to be programmed, I'm betting you need a dealer to do that. I don't know why but you know how these car companies always recommend you take to a dealer. Try putting the old computer back in also.
My friend has a camaro and a few years ago he changed his stereo out for an aftermarket one. His car wouldn't start after this and he had to take it to a dealer to get some theft lock situation worked out with the new radio.
