P0304 is Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected.

Basically, your number 4 cylinder is misfiring. Maybe a bad spark plug, or bad fuel injector. These causes are only guesses because many thing can cause a misfire in one cylinder.

1997 Nissan Quest Van. Where is the crankshaft sensor location please?

Question edited for clarity and the typos - Nissian, cyclinder, vam, and PO 304 is P-zero not P-letter Oh..
Question moved to model category

What makes you think it is the Crankshaft Sensor? This is a simple misfire on Cylinder 4. Check plug, leads and coil. Run some Injector cleaner.

The P0304 code stands for "Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected", which means your vehicle's cylinder 4 has misfired enough times for your powertrain control module (PCM) to notice. A worn spark plug, a faulty fuel injector, and a leaking valve are some possible causes of the P0304 code.

2007 Chevy Cobalt LT Sedan P0304 Misfire

I would say you have more that one code fault and they just used a cheap scan tool. You need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer. That is the only thing that can diagnose the engine speed sensor.

What the P0304 code means. The P0304 code will be seen in cars where the ECU has detected that cylinder 4 is not firing properly. The ECU monitors the operation of all cylinders to ensure they are all firing on time, so when one misfires repeatedly, a Check Engine Light is set.

P0304 misfire losing power especially going uphill.

Question edited. It is 'P-Zero', not 'P-Letter Oh'.

Help in the link. By substitution and swapping the parts you have, you can work out what part is faulty, or just take it to an auto-electrician.
