By RPM sensor do you mean the G28 Engine Speed Sender?   It shares a
mounting with the G4 Ignition Reference Sender?   They're both on the right
hand side of the engine, viewed from in front of the car, buried behind a
heat shield that's protecting them from the exhaust piping on that side.

To test, you can disconnect them from their respective wiring harness
connectors, which are buried beneath all the air intake plumbing.   None of
this stuff is easy to get to unless you have long, thin limbs.

The connectors are gray (G28) and black (G4).

The G4 is the classic hard-hot-start sensor.  It's my understanding the
engine isn't supposed to start/run if the G28 is faulty.  It can start with
a faulty G4 as long as it's not hot and run thereafter.
