If your mechanic thinks that a sensor could be bad talk his word for it. All of us that work on these cars are aware that we can make a mistake and in our on way will give the owner a heads up about the the mistake, the owners put be aware of what is being said.

you might need a new serpentine belt.
you put a wrench on a bolt on the tensioner. it should require a fair amount of force to release the tension on the belt.
this is with engine off of course.

Problem with 02' Mustang engine...mechanic is clueless by grandall50

Took our 02' Mustang in because when we started the engine it ran fine for about 5 seconds and then it began to idle very low and the whole care was shuddering. The check engine light came on.
 
I got it to the mechanic and he found that one of the cylinders was losing it's spark and at the same time the computer was shutting down the injector for that cylinder. The computer was not able to communicate the problem though. It doesn't seem to know that it's doing it. They've had the car a week and can't find what is causing it.
 
Anybody have a clue what might be happening?

Sounds like it overheated and blew the head gasket and/or warped the head. Either way that shouldn't require a new engine. What caused it to overheat?
