1997 Pontiac Bonneville, CKP Sensor Photo
Posted to the Waveform Library on 10/3/2007

Here is the culprit. Someone had installed an aftermarket alarm/remote start, and the blue wire was wired directly to the 3X CKP sensor at the module. This is why there was no 3X signal to the PCM. Once disconnected all the problems seemed to go away.
