I am from across the pond but the desciption sounds acurate. Crank sensor over here picks up a signal from the engines crankshaft, which tells the engines computer the position and speed of the engine as it cranks. The computer the decyphers this, and sparks the plugs at the correct time and sequence, starting the engine.
So would say its a very close match.
The sensor is located either at the front of the engine, picking up from the fanbelt pulley, or at the back of the engine, picking up off the flywheel. Usually 2 or 3 wires. Hope this helps

Sounds like you have done it wrong and crunched the valves ,did you turn engine over by hand after fitting the new belt before attempting to start the engine
map sensor control fuel delivery and ignition timing.the map sensor is your load sensor when engine closed throttle high vacuum wide open throttle low vacuum.need more fuel and spark.when your engine at wide open throttle. low vacuum.cause electrical volts to increase to 5 volts in which pcm will increase fuel pressure and spark.the map sensor does control spark also.replace map sensor erase code and see what happens.
When you losing speed, do you lose RPM? This is important.
1- If you don't lose RPM then you have a problem with your torque converter.
2- If you lose RPM then you have a problem with fuel air mixture and this is controlled by ECM. Usually ECM is not a problem, but the problem is coming from other sensors contributing fuel: air mixture control like Air mass flow control ans Oxygen Sensor besides the throttle body valve is gummed up and need a through clean. So try to address the last one first then follow in reverse order if the case is in # 2. Good luck.
It could be one or all of 4 sensors. the MAF, the MAP or the idle position sensor or dirty fuel injectors. the fuel injectors can be cleaned with an over the counter fuel injector cleaner bottle that you pour in your tank.If these do not fix it, it will be the EGR valve or a vacuum leak to the EGR. Check the fuel injectors first by buying the cleaning product. then check for vacuum leaks around the Fuel injector housing. Buying some starting fluid and spraying it over the small hoses while the car is running will make the engine stall when the fumes from the starting fluid get into the system. then have it scanned again to more or less tell which sensor it is. it could very well work with the fuel injector cleaner.
IS THAT THE SAME AS A ENGINE SPEED SENSOR?
oxygen sensors mount to what the manifold or converter
