Restore Peak Performance to Your Chevrolet Spark
Is your 2016 Chevrolet Spark suffering from frustrating and unpredictable engine problems? Issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or a sudden drop in fuel efficiency often point to a failing Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle’s engine, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions control. When it falters, the entire performance of your car is compromised. This replacement ECM, part number 12672780 or 12660743, is the definitive solution to get your Spark running like new again.
Is Your 2016 Spark ECM Failing?
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often being misdiagnosed as a bad sensor or fuel system issue. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider your ECM:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various codes
- ✔ Unexplained engine stalling or hesitation
- ✔ Rough or erratic idling
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Engine misfires or poor acceleration
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire
- ✔ Transmission shifting problems
- ✔ Inability for scan tools to communicate with the module

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?

We only need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to flash the module with the correct GM software and vehicle-specific parameters. You can typically find your VIN on your dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card.

If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes are being caused by a faulty ECM, then this part will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure a proper diagnosis has been performed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure.
Are part numbers 12672780 and 12660743 interchangeable?
