Question

Will a crankshaft position sensor that is not adjusted right prevent the car from starting or will it jus idle and run wrong?

Crankshaft Sensor

The crankshaft sensor is vital to engine operation. Without it you won't obtain the proper timed spark from your CCCI and the properly timed injection. It won't start and won't run.

Is there a certain way to adjust the sensor or you just have to move it and try cranking after every adjustment?

Well, you need to make sure the interrupter ring is going through the correct gap on the sensor, at about 0.030 clearance.
If the ring touches the sensor, it can ruin it.
