You may need a new timing belt/chain. 

If the sensor has been replaced, then it is reading correctly but the belt/chain is either too advanced/retarded. This happens with age as they loosen and begin to slip. 

It won't be a cheap repair, particularly if you have a chain.


That was actually the first thing I replaced when I got this car

Did you replace the sensor with an OEM one? See here for what else it could be:

Those have timing belts and its most likely the timing belt that's going out and u will need a new one. They are also interference engines, so make sure you replace it on time before the valves meet the pistons.
