yeah napa has it listed for a 99 and 02 but my 00 took the 2 pin plug, smaller threads and a longer probe. It is the same as the 2.2 ecotecs or saturn 2.2 just tell them that, i think its 6338 but i can be wrong> Just tell them you want one for a 2.2 03 alero or 01saturn or 03 cavalier.

Hey man, I have a 98, three pin and all. I took it out of my stock heads and put it in the 243's, no bull-****. Seriously, you should make sure your putting it in the right hole, as dumb as it sounds I have seen worse.

Sorry I though you wanted the 2 pin, in that case Im not positive but most likely any GM 3 pin one will be the same....Napa had the 3 pin listed thats the one they kept trying to give me but mine takes the 2 pin. Have them pull a picture up on their computer and when you see the one you want tell them go find it.
