You answered your own question.
You have a bad crank sensor.
its on the drivers side on the top of the transmission bellhousing. You can see it from the engine bay. Google it if you need a pic!
Laptop is now dead in 3... 2..

Actually, the Camshaft Position sensor is under the Distributor cap. Take distribtor cap off, then rotor button, youll see wires coming out, follow them disconnect the plug, remove black plastic disc in dristibtor. This may also be referred to as Pick up Coil, or Stator.
