You check the crank sensor my measuring its resistance at its plug. Should be around 540 ohms across two of the pins.
Failing this test confirms a dud one, but passing it doesn't confirm a good one.
The revving up before it quit suggests that the fuel mixture went weak before it stopped, so the first thing i would check is the fuel supply to the fuel rail
