GM Tech:
OK, here is what needs to be done. When you get a new lock cylinder, it
will come with a false key in it that is cut to the cylinder. This key will not
allow it to start, but is the template for the new key with chip in it that you
will need. The original key must be taken to the dealer and placed in  
machine that reads the key number of the chip (resistance) then, the
dealer will cut a new key that is the proper key number, by using the false
template key that came in the new cylinder.
That is all that needs to be done. Some people get confused with all the
different theft systems on GM cars, as they changed every few years.

Question = I'm trying to find out how the spark plugs are located by number on my
engine, I'm trying to change my ignition coils and believe the spark plugs are not hooked
up correctly can u help me? With like a diagram or something?
Answer: On the left side of the engine (driver's side) starting from the
front of the engine, the cylinders are 1, 3, and 5. On the right side of
the engine (passenger side) starting from the front of the engine and
going back the cylinders are numbered 2, 4, and 6. The coils should
be numbered unless they have been replaced. They go as
follows...1,4....2,5....3,6. That's the best way to try and sort out the
firing order and get the correct ignition wire to the correct spark plug
