Setup the shiftlight to run for a 4 cylinder, you should be good to go.

There should be instructions with your SHIFT LIGHT on how to set it up to run on a 4 cylinder, which is what you need to do. It has nothing to do with your PCM.

That sounds right, I was not for sure if that shift light had the wires or not, but that is excactly what I was trying to get across. Thanks.
