I am a newcomer and have a few questions. First, I have a 96 monte carlo. What generation is that? Secondly, I am having some technical difficulties with my car. Where can I go to ask questions regarding my make and model? I could really use the help. Thx!

 

Welcome to the forum!!!

1995-1999 is considered the 5th Generation! But don't go to the how-to section with questions. Those are for procedures.

You can ask questions here, general tech, or specific spaces, like exhaust/intake/engine/transmissions etc. depending on the problem.

 

Welcome to the Monte Carlo Family...
You have a 5th Generation Monte Carlo.

What type of problems are you having ?
You can post your problems on this thread to see `if you can get any assistance...Or make a thread in the area's that you are having problems.

Also please use our Search Engine for Subjects of interest, or certain problems that may already have the answers you need.

Wish you good luck

 

thanks! Okay so my 96 chevy monte carlo suddenly wouldnt start. My radio, air/heat, lights, etc all come on but the car wont start. The starter and battery have both been tested and they are great. The fuel injector seems to be working great as well. Any ideas, suggestions. I read up on bcm and also bypassing a security alarm....pls help if possible. thx!

 

Unless you have the security light lit I wouldn't worry about the BCM.

It could still be the battery even if it was tested. Was it load tested?? It could have a bad cell and not letting it start.

 

Welcome to the site... Wouldnt start ? Does it crank over? Have spark ?Fuel?

 

How many miles on your Monte Carlo ?
Do you have any aftermarket modifications ?
Does your Monte Crank (turn over) & don't fire or is it dead when you attempt to start ?

Please post as much detail about your problem(s) as you can..The more information you posts, will help member's help you...
Good Luck

 

It doesnt turn over. When I turn the key as if I was starting it is when the air, radio and lights turn on. My engine light is on now but has only been on since the car hasnt been starting. There is fuel in the car..... I cant recall how many miles are on the car because it is @ my inlaws.

 

And it is quite possible there was a security system put in and removed.

 

This may sound stupid, but are you sure the battery terminal isn't either corroded, or a wire cracked at the battery? My 03 wouldn't start, here the wire going to the lead in the plastic up at the pos terminal was cracked, and just a little corrosion!! Just a thought...
