Where is the distributor on a 1990 Pontiac Grand Am?

I am currently working on a 1990 Pont. GP. For all intensive purposes, its pretty much the same car. The GP has no distributor, it is an electronic ignition, so no distributor,no points,but you do have an ignition control module which has 3 coils attached to the front of it( 6cyl. engine) this is where your spark plug wires go. It should be located either on the side or front of motor just above the starter,and just below the exhaust manifold.good luckmrkhh

Where is the distributor cap on a 1994 Pontiac grand prix gtp located?

There is no distributor cap or even a distributor on these engines since the 6 plug wires are connected in pairs directly to 3 coils on top of the ignition control module. This module energizes and "fires" the coils electronically without the need for a distributor. If you suspect ignition problems check plug wires first, then plugs, then the module and coils.
