Here's why:
* Different Firing Orders: GM has used various 2.4L engines over the years, and each may have a different firing order. The firing order determines the sequence in which the cylinders fire.
* Engine Orientation: The position of cylinder 3 can vary depending on how the engine is mounted in the vehicle (front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, etc.).
To find out where cylinder 3 is on your specific engine:
1. Look up the engine code: This will usually be stamped on a tag attached to the engine block.
2. Find the firing order: You can use the engine code to search online for a manual or diagram that shows the firing order for your specific engine.
3. Locate cylinder 3: Once you know the firing order, you can trace the sequence of cylinders to determine where cylinder 3 is located.
Alternatively, you can:
* Consult a mechanic: They will have access to resources and expertise to determine the location of cylinder 3 on your engine.
Please provide more information about your specific engine, and I may be able to offer more assistance.
