*1996 CHEVROLET LUMINA V6 3.1 Liter FI

Check engine light on, took to O'Reillys they scanned a bad CPS
questions

Where is it located on the motor? Don't see it yet

Anyone got detail as to how to change the darn thing out?

dplantz

It is the one that OReillys says mounts behind the balancer

Let me google that for you

dplantz

very funny

I already did and althought this is a pontiac, I think it is close enough, gonna try it this weekend

sledge.impy

OK

Let us know how it goes...

Well that thing was a bugger to change but it is done. Bad part is I still have the check engine light on! ARRGGGHH Curse you O'Reilly Auto Parts, you told me wrong? Anybody know will the code clear on it's own? I had the battery disconnected for about 3 hours. Guess I will take it back and have it re-scanned I know there is a second one but it looks like more hell to change than this one.

Sorry - no idea... disconnecting battery should have done it.

Maybe it is a new code.

Is the car running fine? Was it running fine before or having issues?

dplantz

Well driving it some more " cured" the problem, the light went away after about 10 minutes of driving. Seems weird cause I had bettery disconnected for over 3 hours, but anyway daughter is on her way again 185k and counting
