it is to the right side of the crank shaft pulley it will have a connector to it held on by two bolts. you have to pull the crank pulley first. use a three hole puller, called a chicken foot, because it looks like a chicken foot. there will be little holes in the face of the pulley. the bolts needed will be 6mm about 4in long. the pulley will come off, remove the plastic piece covering the sensor and replace. do not pry on the pulley, it is easy to bend the teeth behind it, and it must be able to pass through the ridges on the new sensor. make sure it is the crank sensor you need to change before doing all this and not the cam shaft sensor, just above the crank sensor, they will both give the same problem. No spark. good luck.
RIGHT SIDE OF ENGINE NEAR CRANK PULLY
No spark? are you sure? then probably bad crank sensor, or ignition module.
You need an oscilloscope. I use a vantage, it costs like $3K. now the crank sensor only cost like $40, but have to remove the harmonic balancer to change it. Now their is the delimna mechanics always face.
The camshaft sensor is behind the water pump pulley and the crank sensor is mounted just above the crank pulley(dynamic balancer). If the crank sensor is bad . The car will simply DIE. If the cam sensor is bad it will simply not have sequential injector firing and driveability and MPG will be affected.BOBAnswerwhen the water pump pulley is removed you can see a sensor with 3 wires going to it at the top side of the crank shaft pulley. you might be able to see it with a flashlight and a mirror without removing anything. hope that's the right sensor.
it should be behind the Harmonic Blance,right top
Behind the crank pulley that your belt rides on!
It's just behind the harmonic balancer.
behind the crank pulley
IS CALL CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND IS LOCATED ON THE RIGTH SIDE OF THE ENGINE , ABOVE THE CRANK PULLEY You will have a crank sensor, but it won't have a cam sensor. it dose have a cam sensor, on the timing cover left sind of water pump
It's located on the block, just above the water pump
Both the CAM and Crank sensor are on the front of engine. The cam semsor is to the right and held in with two smaller screws. It is actually a sealed Hall Sensor device but pretty easy to change.
a '95 riviera does not have a distributor. If you mean the ignition coils, then you probably looking at bad ignition module-located under the coils. Or bad crank sensor.
