    Because of the location of the Crankshaft Position Sensor to the crankshaft, and its exposure to the elements (e.g. water), they are prone to failure (quite common). It's likely mounted to the engine block, with two 10 mm bolts, off to the side of the harmonic balancer. Should be very easy to replace. Disconnect the negative battery terminal first, after recording any radio codes.

    Here's what it looks like and costs:
