Assuming you have located the ALDL (Assembly Line Data Link) under the left side of the dash, with the engine off, connect the A and B terminals (or the #5 and #6 terminals in the case of an OBD-I vehicle with the 16 pin OBD-II style connector) with your trusty paper clip. WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE, turn the key to the 'run' position and watch the "check engine" light. All GM codes are 2 digit, and each code will repeat three times before moving on to the next stored code. The format is "first digit, short pause, second digit, long pause", and the fact that each code is repeated three times makes it easy to figure out. The first and last code you'll get is "12", which indicates that the computer is in diagnostic mode. If you only get code 12, there are no faults stored in the system.

Go to a local machine shop that does engine work. They will explain the procedure for boring an engine in detail. This is where you will have to go to get your engine bored.
not without a lot of work.
Not without an adapter.
Your car is considered an "OBD2" vehicle. Short story...it takes a code reader or scan tool to see what is stored in the computer. The good news is that many auto parts stores will do this for you free...just take their "diagnosis" with a grain of salt...they aren't trained for that. For more information on the check engine light, see the free article I wrote some time ago in the related links.
yes when the engine is out and upside down
YOU CAN"T. Engine must be scanned
what is the spark plug gap for a 98 Chevy lumina sedan 3.1Liter engine
it controls idling of car engine, without it it will not idle..
yes
You can't, you must use a scanner.
Theres bound to be changes but for the most part the only think it comes to mined Motor Mounts.
One of the sensors detected a fault that occurred at least 2x, but there are about 100 different ones. you need to retrieve codes from car's comp with a code reader
