Ok, so I'm a newbie & probably gonna get crapped on for posting this as there is probably something already on the site but I was unable to find it. that being said, if so a link to this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my problem....I just got a 1997 Sunfire that I am building for a race car. When I bought the car the old motor was already out so I don't know exactly which engine it was. I have one from a 96 Cavalier & although it fit in fine & MOST plugs fit, my knock sensor did not (but determined the car will run without it) I also have 2 plugs just below the coil pack & the one on the right (from the backside of the engine) that I don't have in my harness & I believe it is stopping it from running as I have no fire.
So, my question is, ARE these engines specific to the car? If so, is there a way to tell exactly what motor I do need? Need help ASAP as my first race is May 23rd...lol time is ticking & I don't want to get another motor only to have it not work as well
