The crankshaft position sensor is a two pin sensor made up of plastic like material. It is located on the back side of the engine block about half way between the oil pan and the top of the block. It can only be accessed by crawling under the car. we have a 1996  3.1 monte carlo ls we need to repl - 33899bbd-15f1-451a-9a7a-a94f8be62e27.png

    You only asked about the location of the Crankshaft Position sensor, and your good self did not mention the problem. Any how, following are the reasons due to with the engine could misfire:

    - The spark plug gaps are wide open.

    - Faulty, cracked or oil fouled spark plugs.

    - Camshaft Position Sensor faulty.

    - Crankshaft Position Sensor faulty.

    - Wiring.

    - High tension cords or igniters faulty.

    - Improper valve clearance.

    - Worn out throttle plate.

    - Air / fuel mixture too lean.

    - Fuel pressure too high.

    - Vacuum leaks in the intake manifold.

    - PCV valve stuck open.

    - Valve and/or ignition timing too late.

    - Burnt or ruptured engine valves.

    - Worn out valve guides.

    Hope that works. Thanks.

I need to know how to change the battery in my 1995 Monte Carlo Ls?

hi Shellie.
this link should show you a video on how to do it.
plus you will be able to read up on it just below the video.
its not saying its a Ls.but see if this is the one.

The video above shows you how to replace the battery in your 1999 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. We recommend changing the battery in Chevrolets every 4 years. Although some batteries last much longer, most batteries begin breaking down chemically after four years, so you could experience dimmer headlights and other negative effects before you have a dead battery in your Monte Carlo that you need to replace.

Replacing the battery in your Monte Carlo involves removing the terminals. When you reconnect the terminals, your radio presets are likely to be cleared out. In some Monte Carlos, you may need to re-enter a security code to get your radio to work again. Check for this code in your owners manual - it will usually be either a sticker or small card in the booklet. If you can't find it, call Chevrolet and they will give you the code for free. In many Chevrolets, the transmission "learns" how you drive over time and makes adjustments, so you may experience altered driving dynamics as your car re-learns your driving style after changing the battery.

We have a 1996 3.1 we replaced the crackshaft sensor on it but it still cracks and backsfire when tring to start what else could we do

It is not the sensor: The problem is in the fuel adjustment, timing, and/or gas line filter, etc. Too many reasons and needs a total checkup.
