How do you test Mitsubishi crankshaft position sensor?

Once you've checked the spark plugs, coil pack, distributor, fuel pump and all fuses and they check out to be good, and you have checked to make sure the timing belt has not jumped, then you have a crankshaft censor malfunction. The automobile will turn over but just won't crank. That means you would need to replace the crankshaft censor.

Where is the crankshaft sensor on a 1991 Dodge Dakota?

the 3.9,5.2&5.9 all have a crank sensor. It is mounted to the bell housing over the flywheel at the rear of the engine. You can back trace the wiring from the distributor to find it.3.9 does not have one. If I remember the v8s dont have one also,

[Edit] '87 through '91 'LA' V8 and V6 use a hall-effect cam position sensor in the distributor and have no crank sensor, '92 and up 'Magnum' use a crank sensor which will be mounted at the upper rear of the engine to 'read' the flexplate or flywheel through a slot in the bellhousing.[Edit] The part is called a "pick up coil" it's a round piece with a wire going into it you can access under the distributor cap and does essentially the same task as crankshaft position sensors. Only on the 'LA' 170hp V8.
