    i am guessing this vehicle does not have a distributer, mine is a 99 with a coil rail. the crankshaft senser is where the distributor would be.Usually a short shaft on passenger side of engine, the sensor is on top of shaft. hope this helps.

    The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) is located at the rear of the block behind the bell housing. The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) is located inside the distributor.
