I have a 1999 grand prix but my motor recently blew. So i bought the same engine but it was from a 1997. 3.8L Series II.. I put the engine in and thought it would work and it wont. I have tried everything. So i am wondering if it could be the timing chain. Is it a chain or belt? and how do you change it?

did you try using the wiring harness and computer from the car you remove the engine from?
