Crank Sensor?

Had this similar problem with my 91 SC, and it turned out to be the crank sensor. Now its happening on my 97 LX V8. When car first starts out,after a few miles, the engine will sputter and drop out and sometimes die. After a few tries starting, or if it warms up it runs fine. Check engine light came on but not sure how to read codes on the 4.6. Help!
 
I believe the 4.6 has the modern OBD-2 diagnostics. AutoZone will normally plug in their scanner and let you know the code for free. OBD-2 normally gives you much more direct diagnostics as well - so you should find the culprit fairly quickly.
