The crank sensor on a 96 Mitsubishi Mirage is located on the bottom of the engine, near the oil filter. It constantly monitors the crankshaft and updates the vehicle's computer.
The crank sensor is located at the left front of the engine
if the crank sensor is bad it does not tell the computer that the crank is turning it will not fire up the engine.

yes same thing
try crank position sensor and cam shaft sensor
In the underside on the far left
Passneger side of the bell housing.
You must know the engine, such as 4.2liter
there isn't one ( 96 it start that year) you only have a cam sensor in the base of the distributor.
It should be at the bottom front of the engine by the timing cover.
it is located on the lower left side of the timing cover
if it has a 4.3 , the cam sensor is in the distributor under the rotor in the back , (not sure about crank sensor) I've been looking into the same thing. Some 4.3's have a crank sensor on the bottom of the timing chain cover, maybe around 95-96 or later. All others are controlled at the distributor.
