Code question

I have a 2000 F-150 4.6. Code P0320 keeps popping up. I know what the code says in the book. Not sure what part I need to replace or even check for that matter... HELP please... Code meaning is...Ignition/Distributor Engine Speed Input Circuit Malfunction...

Check the crankshaft position sensor and the connections to it.

First check the plug on the sensor for being fully seated. Remove it and re-plug it.
Located at/behind the crank pulley about the 7 o'clock position.
If the same code reappears after it is cleared, either test the sensor or replace it for the relitive low cost. It counts pulses from a toothed wheel as a way to tell the computer where the starting point is for all timed engine controls.
