It depends on the engine... 2.5L is located under the coil pack/Ignition module on the rear of the motor. 2.8L is located on the rear of the motor, under the rear exhaust manifold. Be careful when taking out the sensor, it has a very small bolt holding it in, and the sensors are known to break off in the block. Very big pain to get the remnants out.
Rear of the engine block (firewall side), below the center spark plug, just above the oil pan.
It is next to the oil filter.
its called a burnout
have a pontiac 6000 2.5 motor and it wont stay running
First, double check your plug wire routing from when you changed the ICM. It could also be a bad crankshaft position sensor.
On the oil pan there is a cap you unscrew, and inside there is a "card board filter", that you would pull out and replace.
You might try the autozone website or the Pontiac partsman as he might be able to print it out for you, should be a picture of it under the hood of the car or in your owners manual if you still have it.
on the engine block below the exhaust manifold. you can see it best by looking through the front passenger wheel well
Could be a bad coolant temperature sensor, fan relay or thermostat. keep in mind the fan motor itself may be bad.
On the distributor.

In a 1988 Pontiac 6000, the cooling fan switch is typically located near the thermostat housing on the engine. It may be mounted directly on the engine block or on the radiator. For precise identification, it's best to consult the vehicle's service manual or wiring diagram, as the exact location can vary slightly depending on the engine type.
