Is your Oldsmobile Achieva giving you headaches with a persistent check engine light, rough idle, stalling, or even a no-start condition?

Expert Insight: The Brain Transplant That Saves You Money

We recently helped a customer with a 1998 Skylark who had spent nearly $500 on new ignition components and sensors trying to fix a persistent misfire and stalling problem. His mechanic was stumped. After a quick consultation, we identified the classic signs of a failing PCM driver circuit. He ordered this exact module, we programmed it to his VIN, and he installed it in under 30 minutes. The car started immediately and ran smoother than it had in years. This is a perfect example of how addressing the core problem with a reliable, programmed 1997-1998 Oldsmobile Achieva PCM saves you time, money, and immense frustration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to do any programming myself?

Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. After you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN, and we flash the module with the correct GM software before it ships. It arrives ready for installation.

What is a ‘service number’ and why does it matter?

Service numbers (like 16228016 and 16245305) are GM’s internal part identifiers. A single module can often replace several different service numbers. We list them to help you confirm that our part is the correct replacement for the one in your vehicle, ensuring broad compatibility.

How do I provide my VIN?

After you complete your purchase, we will send you a message or email with instructions on where to send your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive and program it with this information.

Will this fix my car’s specific problem?

While we can’t diagnose your vehicle remotely, this module is the proven solution for all common PCM-related failures. If your car has been properly diagnosed with a faulty engine computer, this part will resolve those issues. The 1997-1998 Oldsmobile Achieva PCM is a critical component, and its failure can cause a wide range of symptoms.

Is this part difficult to install?

For most of the compatible vehicles, including the Achieva, the PCM is located inside the vehicle, often behind the dashboard on the passenger or driver’s side. It typically involves removing a few trim panels and unbolting the module. It’s a straightforward swap for a confident DIYer, but we always recommend professional installation if you are unsure.

What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?

This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers any defects in the module itself. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement part.
