I have the car listed above that will crank but won’t start. Checked the fuel and gas. Can someone please tell me where the crankshaft sensor is located on the car so I can check? A diagram of it would be helpful.

Sure, here is the crankshaft position sensor location which is at the lower front of the engine near the harmonic balancer. Please go over this video to help you with the non-running issue, this will help narrow the problem down.
