You can't find it because there is no such thing.

There is a Speed Sensor which tells your PCM how fast your going and translates it to MPH for your speedometer.
There is also a Throttle Position Sensor that tells your PCM what position the throttle plate is in.

What is the problem your experiencing?

Default crankshaft sensor

If it helps I have a 98 and had a similar problem a while back. Of course there are many possibilities but in my case it was the crankshaft position sensor which is back on the bell housing on passenger side. Have to remove inner fender well. Should eventually get a "check engine" light.
