2001 Chevrolet Impala will not shut off unless you unplug the coil pack

I recently had my engine replaced and now the car will not shut off unless you unplug the coil pack. My mechanic (who I question after taking forever on the replacement) thinks I should change the ignition but I see Impala's have had issues. Has anyone came across a situation where the car would not shut off?

Programming problems with the PCM. Anytime you change an engine or other major component it must match exactly with the PCM . If the pcm was replaced with the engine, then the message being received from the ignition module is not recognizable and the pcm will not shut off the engine. Either the PCM has to be re flashed by a professional to match your old ignition module.

Sounds like possibly the catalytic converter is plugged up. It's under warranty. Dealer will replace free if it's the cat.

SOURCE: Need to replace ignition cylinder on 2000 Impala

Pop off the black ring around ignition lock small screwdriver willl do. Remove dashboard plastic to expose 2 bolts holding ignition assy. Can be tedious. IF you can turn the key turn it to Start. In the plastic housing there's a 1/4 by 3/8 hole. push in a screwdriver which will push in a button on ignition cylinder and allow you to slide it out. The hole is located at 4 o'clock if we agree that the 2 wiring harness plugs are at 6 o clock and its 1 and 1/4 inches below the face of ignition cylinder. If you dont feel that the screwdriver is pushing in that "button" rotate your key until it does. Then just slide the cylinder out.

You have wet ignition components. Get an air hose and blow dry everything you can get to. You may even have to let it sit to dry out.

No fire to the coil packs on a 05 Chevy impala 3.8

You can try unplugging one of the spark plug wires from the coil pack and then touching it to a metal surface, you should see a spark. If you do then that wire and plug are good. Do this to each wire to check for spark. If they all have spark, ensure that they are plugged in the correct order. If they are you may have a faulty coil pack. You can pick one up on ebay super cheap.

Asd 25a fuse blows every time i crank engine 2001 dodge grand caravan 3.3

Unplug these items,
- coil pack
- the multi wire connector on the back of the alternator
- both oxygen sensors

Install a new fuse and see if it blows when you turn the key on. If it does than there could be a problem with the fuel injectors or the wiring to the injectors or any of the items that where unplugged.

if it doesn't plug the coil pack back in and start the vehicle. If it blows with the coil pack plugged in replace the coil pack.

If it still doesn't blow with the coil pack plugged in and the engine running shut it down and plug in the alternator and start the vehicle. If it blos with the alternator plugged in replace the alternator.

Continue the same steps with the O2 sensors if needed.

If you have any questions let me know and I'll be happy to help. Thank you for using Fixya.com!

2001 pontiac cowl pack not fireing.

Here is a diagram of the firing order for you 3800 engine. Cylinders 1 and 4 are misfiring because the operate under the same "Coil Pack" and the coil pack has unfortunately gone bad. O'Reilly sells them for between $30-50 depending on the amount of warranty coverage you want. To replace, simply unscrew the screws that hold the coil pack in place. WAIT before unplugging the plug wires. Place the old coil pack and new coil pack next to each other, unplug one plug wire, then plug it to that same port on the new coil pack. then do the same for the other plug wire. Then screw your new coil pack in place, and start you car. should run fine!
