1998 Monte Carlo Powertrain Control Module PCM 9357440 Programmed to Your VIN

Is Your Late-90s GM Vehicle Running Rough?

If you’re driving a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo or another GM vehicle from that era, you might be dealing with some frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues. Over the years, I’ve seen countless cars from this generation roll into my shop with symptoms that leave owners scratching their heads. The car might stall at a stoplight for no reason, the transmission might slam into gear, or you could be fighting a persistent Check Engine Light that no amount of part-swapping seems to fix. More often than not, the culprit is a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Common Symptoms of a Failing GM PCM

The PCM is the brain of your vehicle, controlling everything from fuel mixture and spark timing to transmission shift points. When it starts to fail, the symptoms can be all over the place. Here’s what I typically see:

• ✔ Unexplained stalling or cutting out while driving.
• ✔ Harsh, erratic, or delayed transmission shifting.
• ✔ A persistent Check Engine Light, often with communication error codes.
• ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
• ✔ Poor fuel economy and overall sluggish performance.
• ✔ Inaccurate or non-functioning gauges on the instrument cluster.

The Direct-Fit, Programmed Solution

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a quality, tested Powertrain Control Module and program it specifically for your vehicle using your unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is a critical step that many sellers skip. Without proper programming, your car won’t run correctly, and the anti-theft system may prevent it from starting at all.
