Undo the two Phillips screws (the lower one is difficult to get) on the distributor cap and remove the cap. Pull the distributor rotor off the shaft. The module is mounted flat across the surface directly below the rotor. It is a semi-circular dark grey or brown piece taking up about half the surface of the distributor face, held on with two small hex-head screws. This is a NOTORIOUS failure item in early Sunbirds, if you have brutally erratic and total no-starts this is something to try early on in the diagnostic game.
what is the color order of the wires to a Pontiac Sunbird ignition module
I would have the ignition module checked .
On a 1989 Pontiac Sunbird, the ignition module is typically located on or near the ignition coil, which is mounted on the engine. To access it, you may need to remove the engine cover or other components, depending on the engine configuration. It's generally situated on the driver's side of the engine compartment. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for precise location details and replacement procedures.

The order they go in are green, yellow, yellow, brown/white, black/pink, yellow/black, brown. I found another 1991 sunbird with the same distributor at a junkyard, that's how I found out.

For a 1991 Pontiac Sunbird, the wiring color order for the ignition module typically follows this pattern: the connections are usually made with a combination of colors such as red, gray, black, and green. However, it's essential to refer to the vehicle's service manual for precise wiring diagrams, as variations may exist based on the specific engine type and configuration. Always ensure that the vehicle is disconnected from the battery when working on ignition components to avoid electrical issues.
