I have a 2007 GMC Canyon. When I bought it, the inner front fender splash shields were missing and some really weird stuff under the hood was not connected or loose. So, I thought the engine was changed at some point. Now I am working on it and ordered some parts and changed them. Serpentine belt, spark plugs, belt tensioner, idler pully. When I got done, the engine started missing and coded #3 misfire. That was last night and I did not get back to this yet. One of the coil bolts was missing, so thought this is the problem.
After that, my real issue... What engine do I have in this thing? I looked up a new ignition coil and found a 2007 coil looks different than what I have. Went to the salvage yard this morning an found a 2006 Colorado with the same 4 cylinder engine and same coils. For further parts and services, how can I identify what engine I have. Am I correct that up to 2006 it was less HP and in 2007 the HP was raised slightly? It runs good and uses no oil, so I am happy with the engine (except for a slight noise until it warms up). I was told, learn to live with this, the Colorado and Canyon all do that.
PLEASE HELP
