their was a 14-pin unit, and a 20-pin unit..
whichever yours has, it will interchange with almost all 3.8 GM units;
from 91-08 buicks: park ave., century, lacrosse, lucerne, regal, riveria, etc..
..chevy impala, lumina, monte carlo- 95-04...
.. 95-99 Oldsmobile 88 royale, 98 regency, achieva, cutlass ciera (and cruisers w/3.3), silouettes, and toronados from the early 90s...
.. and 92 to 07 Pontiacs; bonnevilles, grand ams, grand prix, and including your TranSport...
more than 350 different types of GMs used this module.. good luck finding it..
the 20-pin GM/AC-Delco unit should have a stamping on it: 1103936.
hope this helps

That's great news you shared ctesla, thanks a lot!
The thing is that, yes we had Pontiac TranSports but most popular were with 2.3 engines. But as known the 2.3 engines were not reliable, so it was common to swap the engine with 2.0 85kw Opel engines, as these were realy reliable and quite an easy swap to do. So after the swap you had a really economical and with a big space inside comfortable and good looking for the time car/minivan. In Lithuania they were real popular at around 2000s. When I was looking for a Trans Sport my self I tryed to find the one - with a swapped 2.0 opel engine, but I could not find any (found one but really bad condition). But there we had another problem. Around 2012 the local laws were changed - it became more strict about swapping engines for cars, and somehow (didn't go deep into this) it was hard for 2.3 to Opel 2.0 swapped TranSports to pass the technical inspection. This Law change killed lots of TranSports in Lithuania, usually they were running on the streets until their technical inspection (in the UK it's called MOT i think? In the USA i dunno
) was valid, and after they were just dissassembled and sold for parts or just scrapped.
So mostly only the not swapped 2.3 remained today and the more rare in Lithuania 3.8, also I saw a 3.1 in a junkyard that's been sold for parts, but engine and trans was out long ago, and only the body with rear chassis was left and doors. Also saw a Lumina Chevy, quite good shape for it's age, but someone grabbed it before me
For the day today, it is hard to find parts for TranSport, all the locals I called they only have some remaining parts from older times, and I haven't seen another TranSport or Lumina or Silhouete on the road running... They kinda fade away, and turn into history...! ;(
