It doesn't specifically have a Crank sensor. The hall effect sensor in the distributor does the job of the crank sensor.

. Hey guys."Wrenchtech" came closest. Its called a "pickup coil" in the 3.0 V6. Yes, its a Hall effect sensor, but, misleadingly lots of people refer to it as a "Crank Position Sensor". Which is WHY I could NOT find it on any of the sites on the computer! ( Its at PARTS GEEK for $40). Thanks for all your efforts and comments. Tony in Jamaica. Tues 13 March 2012.
