I need to know where it is located and if there is more than one for this engine, please.

There is only one crankshaft sensor which is on the right side of the engine down low, here are the instructions and location of the sensor so you can replace it. I also included the relearn procedure as well. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

Thank you very much! I appreciate the swift response. I had a follow question the sensor does need to be relearned by an actual scanner tool? And last thing the arrow in the image does that mean that the sensor is on the fire wall side since it’s sitting sideways?

You are correct, on the firewall side of the engine under the exhaust manifold.
