Zach, guess what? It doesn't have one. I went around and around with this very same issue with a local car parts supplier. Yes one shows up on the list of parts for this year and engine... it is all done through the pick-up coil and ignition module in the distributor. Tell me more about your problem. I have tons of experience on this make, year and model.
The problem is that I can't get it to start and I Check everything except crankshaft
Well, as you may know, it takes 3 major things to turn an engine over and allows it to run. Air, fuel & spark. I had a problem with spark on mine. Make sure the coil mounting brackets are allowing coil to ground to the engine. Once these brackets become loose dirty or broken, the coil could loose ground. I ran a separate ground wire from my coil to the firewall grounding lug. Also check that you are getting a spark at plugs. You-tube has several video's on how to check these things. Scotty Kilmer is my favorite. Once you know if these 3 items are ok, I can suggest other items I have experianced. Also check codes that may be stored in ecm. This could direct you to the cause.
Oop's a typo... experienced.

SOURCE: Crankshaft Position Sensor
The crank sensor is on the front of your engine behind the harmonic balancer. You will need a balancer puller for a 3.8 and a crank sensor alignment tool to do this lob.
