Don't bet the farm yet. The site may let you place the order only to contact you later saying it's not available.

Yep, I chatted someone online and they said its discontinued, and I said ya well everyone knows that! But do you have it, and they don't. Christ I can't believe how hard this is to find.
Ok I called the dealer again, and I asked for the federal broadcast codes (apparently my VIN calls for California ones) and when I look up these broadcast codes in the spreadsheet I found on this site, it says they are all for the 2.8 motor, which is the 4cyl, and I have the 3.1 V6. Does anyone find this strange or would this likely work?
I can give you correct BCC's for your car. Post year, make, model, final drive ratio (if available) auto / manual, w or w/o AC.
2.8 is a V6. The 3.1 started as a 2.8. Some of the early 3.1 cals were actually listed for 2.8 engines.
Are you actually in California? If not, the federal chip will probably be fine. If so, and you're worried about the wrong chip being ID'ed during an inspection, it's not that difficult to change it so it's good for inspection.
Oh ok, I thought it was a V4, well that makes much more sense now, and I'm starting to feel relieved…
No I'm not in California so I really don't care about emissions, or inspections. I just want to find the right prom chip. The dealer gave me the 3 prom codes listed earlier for California. The federal ones they gave me are AHSU, ANKJ, APUC, ARBY, and ARXW, which are all for 2.8. Now I've noticed that in the spreadsheet, one thing that all of these codes have in common, California AND Federal, is that the gear ratio says GX3. Currently I have a BFAU installed, and the car thinks its going twice as fast as it really is, so it tops out at around 55mph because its hitting the top speed governor, the speedometer reflects this. So I have been trying to find a better match and I'm thinking the gear ratio might be important to fix this. The car is a 1990 Chevy Celebrity Wagon, 3.1 V6, Automatic ME9, and that is all I know, other than the VIN which is L2124788. ECU# is 01227730.
It's probably easier to alter the settings in the current chip so the speedometer is correct.
