Most likely next to crank pulley that drives serpentine belt

For the 3.0 Vulcan 12 valve engine, it's on the front of the engine, just up to the left of the crankshaft pulley. One illustration indicates about the 11:00 o'clock position relative to the pulley, and may be obscured by waterpump.

On the 3.0 DURATEC 24 valve engine, the sensor is directly to the left of the crankshaft pulley, on the firewall SIDE of the engine. This one is easier to access through the passenger-side wheel well.

Note that the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) is only about 1 1/2" across with a small wire connector - about the only wired sensor in the general areas described above.

One last thing you may be curious about... The CKP sensors only cost about $20

1998 The crank sensor is located at the front of the engine (right side of the car) slightly to the right of the belt pulleys. It is approximately 2- 3/4 inches long and has a small cap screw on both sides that attaches it to the engine block. It has a wire lead that snaps into the top of the sensor. You can access both bolts from the top on a '98 - no sure about the '97. '96 -'99 are probably the same but would not bet on it.

if it is the 3.0L SHO motor it can be found through the passengers fender after removing the tire and the timing cover for the lower portion of the engine.
