Car computer question

If its a 6 follow link.. if its a 4 cyl change that in the choice of vehicle. cyl ..http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/search/Ignition+Module!s!Control+Unit!s!Ignitor/02801/C0334.oap?model=Grand+Am&vi=1253203&year=1997&make=Pontiac

hi not on changing the mechanical part the ecm and transponders already match as long as u dont have to change ecm no program is required ex if u have a four cyl and u installed a 6 cyl u need new ecm that wont match including the wiring and ecm that would have to be programed to match bcm body computer module danny

The code you got may not have indicated the correct coil, that was bad

I would put the old coil back in #6 & either walk the new coil to another cylinder, or get professonal help in the form of a scan tool in Mode $06,
if applicable on your vehicle & check for misfires that why

Forget the PO300

What engine ? could have come with three different one's ? 3.5 ,3.9, 5.3 LGZ is a RPO code - look at RPO sticker on your vehicle . Could be driver door jam ,glove box , maybe trunk .
LS4

LZE
Engine - Flexible Fuel, (Gas/Ethanol), 6 Cyl, 3.5L, SFI, V6, Offset Bore, GM
LZ4

Do not see LGZ for 2006 impala

Regular Production Option (RPO) codes that are available on the vehicle. The vehicle's RPO list is printed on the Service Parts Identification Label.

When mixing parts from different model year vehicles in the electronic age one never knows what will happen . Try it an see what happens .

Mate.If its a six cyl, motor the rear seal wasn't done right.Its a 2 part seal and you have to remove the sump to do it. The mechanic doesn't want to admit a stuffup.The most common cause is not the correct sealer when the new seal is installed.It has to be slid around and in with the bearing cap removed.This is on a 6 cyl.Hope this helps

On the front of the engine on the radiator side. The plug most left when looking at the engine. Or on the pass side as it is called.

Firing order is
1 3 5
2 4 6

For the 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette:
3.4L V6

Firing Order:
1-2-3-4-5-6

Cylinders:
.....(back).......
|..1.....3.....5..|
.....................
|..2.....4.....6..|
......(front)

Ignition Coil Connections:
................................
.|.5..2.|..|.3..6.|..|.4..1.|.

Let me know if this helped....

andersonltam: OOPS! Don'tfeel bad it's a common problem. First we have to get you oriented in front of the vehicle and give you some reference points so that we are talking apples and apples OK?
Standing directly in front of you vehicle, hood up and looking at the motor, the engine sits "Transversely" (SIDE WAYS") HMM they keep doing that!
Starting with the cylinders on the front side of the motor closest to the radiator, they are
numbered as followed. To your left is #2 cylinder, the center is # 4 and the right is # 6
So the layout is even on one side and odd on the other.
On the back side you have the same configuration: # 1 cylinder is to your left, # 3 is in the center and # 5 is on the right.
back of car
(1) (3) (5)

to #1 cyl > 1 3 <(Dist cap)
6 4

Front of Car

This illustration was a close as I could get using what I had, but I think you have a 99.9%
chance of figuring it out...... If you don't I'll be watching... Let me know how I did......

It probably uses a sensor instead of a cable to register speed. Realistically speaking the vehicle needs to go to a qualified repair shop with the proper diagnostic tool to determine what component is not functioning. Perhaps you can buy and install the part yourself. Most vehicles need to be diagnosed on an electronic tester.

The 4 cyl. and 6 cyl starters are not interchangeable.
