The Ignition Control Module (ICM) is located directly above the coil. If you remove the 2 bolts holding the coil on and then romove the coil mounting plate from the car you will see a small rectangular module with wires plugged into it. This is the ICM.
Under the cap, inside the distributor, it is easy to change with the distributor off the car, a pain to get to with it on the car.
Try under the dash near the glove box.
If you are standing at the front of the car, the module is located on the right side of the firewall by the windshield wiper motor....

Generally speaking you can clear trouble codes by either removing the fuse to the engine control module or by disconnecting the battery. In either case the ignition should be off. Hope that helps.
I think there is no 96 Trans Am. The Trans Sport module is on the rear center of the engine. Remove and replace it with standard US or metric tools. There are three electrical plugs to remove from socket. The Trans am didnt die till 2002 there was one in 96.
Inside the rear of the alternator
Probably in the 1997 Pontiac trans-am heater core valve holder. If not, you probably lost it. Both the valve, and your mind.
your motor needs to be replaced,or it could just be the module on the motor.
Hey there, I'm looking at the service manual for Contour/Mystique right now and it says the automatics have a separate ignition control module and the ignition control module for standard transmissions are fully incorporated into the vehicle computer.You mean your after market manual.There is no module in a 1997, auto trans or stick. My crank sensor was getting no voltage to it and i spent a day looking for that module,come to find the wires that connect to the sensor go directly to the computor. Im sure there is a module in one of the years the manual covers for auto trans but not a 1997 2.0 contour/mystique.
