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.

Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1996 Buick Riviera?

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.

Why is a 1995 Riviera not getting a spark to the distributor?

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.
