Engine is hard to start and then acts like it is flooding out (cannot keep it running). No gas smell. (Possible crankshaft sensor?)

Welcome to 2CarPros.

It could be related to the sensor, but also there are other things which could be causing it. Have you checked for diagnostic trouble codes? This vehicle has an OBD 1 system. All you need to retrieve codes is a short jumper wire or even a paper clip.

Lets start there. Here are directions to retrieve codes. Follow the link and let me know what codes are found.

I will watch for your reply.
