There isn't a crank position sensor per se on your car, but the Hall
sender on the distributor does tell the ignition computer when to fire a
spark. These are a bit prone to damage, breakage, esp. to the small
wires that are between the connector and the pickup itself inside the
distributor. You might take a look at that and see if anything is amiss.
Also, the ignition computer is hidden under the passenger side kick
panel (just ahead of the door), and can get damaged if there are any
water leaks running down into that area.
