Today I went and looked at a '97 GTP with 81k miles on it. The car was in perfect shape and the interior was flawless. The only problem was when I took it for a test drive the Serve Engine Light came on when I started the car. I asked the guy the reason being and he stated that the light "just" came on in the last week and he took it to a mechanic and was told that the PCM is only sending out codes to 5 of the 6 cylinders. They told him that he needed to go to a Pontiac Dealer and have them reprogram the PCM and this would solve the problem.
First, would reprogramming the PCM take care of this problem?
Second, what damage is being done to the engine while 1 cylinder is not functioning.
When we sat in idle the car idled real rough...
The guy seemed really honest about it and said he is having it fixed immediately...
