Unorthodox UDP and car wont start??

Three weeks ago, I installed an Unorthodox UDP on my '97 Max which now has about 95k miles on it. Ever since then, it takes a few long turns of the key to get it started. And in just the past few days, my car wont start at all.
Has anyone else run into this problem when installing their UDP or do you think with such high miles on my car, it was just a coincidence that something else "went" on my car?? I was thinking with the high miles, maybe the sparkplugs or the fuel filter??? Please let me know ASAP what you guys think. Thanks

Did you get it from CustomMaxima? You have to make sure you have the
correct one. The 95-01 pulley should have a metal/silver sensor on the inside of the pulley. If you dont see a metal/silver circular sensor on the inside of it, you might have the wrong pulley. The car wont start because its not getting the signal from that sensor. This happened to me. Check it out and see what happens...

YES... it does'nt look like a typical sensor... its just a circular piece of aluminum thats on the pulley itself w/little holes in it!

Indeed that's why the Definitive pulley wouldn't work on the 5th gens if i'm not mistaken

i believe it's the crank angle sensor...or the piece is for the crank angle sensor to pick up signal.
