I wouldn't be too afraid about bringing it back. This part that was replaced senses the spinning camshaft. It is used in conjunction with a sensor on the back of the engine called a crankshaft sensor. It's not as expensive and will shut the car off. Maybe it's leaving a fault code now. If it was my job, I'd want it back. To find out so I could fix it, and learn.
