P1391- Intermittent Loss of CMP or CKP sensor(s)

Thanks alot for the help, How do I check the sensors and find out if they are good or bad and where are they located? Thanks.
And this would be the reason the car isnt starting?

Flip99,
Code 1391: No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking. Check the connector/circuit between the crankshaft position sensor and the PCM.

The crankshaft position sensor is mounted on the passenger side of the transmission bellhousing and is difficult to get to.
This sensor sends information to the PCM regarding engine crankshaft position. The sensor 'reads' the slots on the torque converter driveplate. The engine will not operate if the PCM does not receive a crankshaft position sensor input. The sensor determines both fuel and ignition timing. There are three wires in the sensor connector:
OR = 8V supply or reference voltage.
BK/LB= Sensor Ground
LB/DB= CKP Sensor Signal
To check the reference voltage from PCM disconnect the connector from the sensor, the Ign. Switch in the 'Run' position. With a digital VOM Probe the OR wire connection and the center connection (sensor ground) should read 8V. If this checks out good, you will have to proceed to checking out the sensor itself. Let me know, and I will step you through that process if you like.

The sensor is mounted with bolts. Are you asking about how to take the connector off the sensor?

Yes i am asking how to take the wires off the sensor and how many bolts are on the sensor and what size are the bolts?

To remove the harness connector from the sensor: Pinch the release and pull off. There are two specially machined bolts that control the space between the sensor and the flywheel. If you remove the sensor, be sure you use the same bolts.

Thanks alot man for your help, how much of a pain is it to get to the sensor on the transmission and is there anything im going to have to take off to get to it?

No nothing to remove to get to the sensor except the harness connector. It's a little bit of a tight place between the transmission and the floor above.
