Chrysler liked to put this one on top of the bellhousing and cocked slightly back towards the firewall right where the engine and tranny meet. Not sure if they did on your exact car offhand. There will be a single bolt holding it with an 8 or 10mm head on it. Take out the bolt and pop off the connector. You may need to pull some airbox ducting to get a decent view of the area you are working in.

A failed crank sensor will cause this, and I see more of them fail than the coil packs. Easy way to check this is to watch your tach when cranking. If it stays still its the crank sensor, as it tells the car how fast the motor turns along with where it is in rotation. If you have no tach, you would need a scanner that is able to display real time data. I don't believe this is a pricey sensor, and its definatly cheaper than a coil pack. Also, the coils have separate circuits for separate plugs in them, and the likelihood of them all failing at the exact same moment is in keeping with the lottery tickets and getting struck by lightning.
