The crankshaft position sensor goes through the top passenger side of the transmission bell housing, behind the passenger side cylinder head.

The crank sensor should be on the drivers side of the transmission bell housing. It's more towards the top of the bell housing. The easiest way to get to it is reaching down from the top of the engine just below the valve cover. Atleast that is where it is on my 91 4.0L
Crankshaft position sensor.
The sensor is a hall effect sensor. Measuring resistance will not indicate a "pass/fail". You must test voltage of the sensor while cranking engine. You should see voltage change from 0.0v to 5.0v or see 2.5v on meters that have an averaging function.
CMP= Cam Shaft Position Sensor.

A CKP is the crankshaft position sensor. The engine computer uses that sensor to know the position of the crankshaft for fuel and ignition timing purposes. With out the ckp the engine will not run.
