Expert Insight: The Ghost in the Machine
I once had a customer with a ’98 Grand Am who had spent nearly a thousand dollars chasing a persistent misfire. He replaced plugs, wires, coils, and even the fuel injectors. The car would run fine for a day, then the problem would return. After checking everything, we finally traced it to the PCM. The internal driver for one of the injectors was failing intermittently. A new, Programmed 9366314 PCM was the final, and only, repair needed. It’s a classic example of how the engine’s brain can cause phantom issues that seem unrelated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. It arrives ready for installation. All we need is your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to load the correct, updated software.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your specific vehicle.
Will I need to perform a security relearn procedure?
Yes, on most GM vehicles from this era, a security relearn (often called a Passlock or VATS relearn) is required after installation. This syncs the new PCM to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. It’s a simple procedure that typically takes 30 minutes and does not require any special tools. We can provide instructions upon request.
What if my original part number is not on your list?
Please contact us with your vehicle’s VIN and the part number from your original module. This PCM fits a wide range of vehicles, and we can verify compatibility for you to ensure you get the correct part.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers any functional defects of the unit itself. If the module fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. It does not cover issues caused by other faulty components on the vehicle or improper installation.
