I had a similar situation occur. Pulled my hair out trying to figure it out. Just routine maintenance. Car was working well before and had a miss after. Turned out the service tech had some difficulty removing one of the plug wires and the electrical connection deep in the plug cap was severed.
I was able to determine which cylinder was missing by disconnecting individually one at a time until one made no difference in operation. I then swapped this wire with another and the symptom persisted only on a different cylinder. A set of replacement wires solved everything.
Back in the day I would have suggested he could have reinstalled the wires out of order but in modern card the wire dressing makes that very difficult to do.

My 2004 Chevy Impala SS Indy limited edition won't start since window broke. How can I get it out of antitheft mode?

One question is fine. I think this is the fifth albeit one had no vehicle details.

When you disconnect the battery, you have to reset again!

I answered it earlier and I have also asked our vehicle electronics wizard to visit your question.

However, did you try the resets in the link I posted? Resetting isn't in the owner manual (oh, and Manuel is the name of a Spanish gent) :>D

2004 Chevy Impala Indy Limited Edition won't start since passenger rear window got broken out.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

Presumably they broke the window to try and get into steal it, so there may be wires cut or pulled under the ignition switch.

Sounds like you might just be able to join the wires. If not, you will need an auto electrician or an auto-locksmith.

Problem here with three and 4 gauge clusters

The Impala was available in two trim levels from 2000 to 2003. The base model came equipped with cloth bench seats, steel wheels, the 180 horsepower (134 kW) 3.4 liter (204 cu in) LA1 V6, and a 3-gauge instrument cluster.[40] The LS came factory-equipped with cloth bucket seats upgradeable to leather with center console and floor shift, color-keyed "Impala" door scripts and trunk badge, anti-lock brakes, traction control system, keyless remote entry, integrated foglamps, aluminum wheels upgradeable to alloy wheels, rear spoiler (optional on the base models), 4-gauge instrument cluster (with tachometer), and the larger 200 horsepower (149 kW) 3.8 liter (231 cu in) L36 V6.[41] Options available on all models included a sunroof, OnStar system, Driver Information Center with built-in HomeLink system, heated power front seats, and 16 inch 1990s SS-inspired wheels. All models came equipped with power windows, door locks, and mirrors. The rear spoiler was an option on base models, and could be deleted from LS models upon buyers request.

2005 Impala SS The 2004 to 2005 Impala SS came equipped with the 3.8 liter (231 cu in) supercharged L67 V6 engine.[42] It was rated at 240 horsepower (180 kW) and had been previously used in the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, Buick Regal GS, Buick Riviera, and H-body Pontiac Bonneville SSEI and Buick Park Avenue "Ultra". The lighter front-wheel-drive sedan was as quick as the vaunted 1990s Impala SS, with 0-60-mile-per-hour (0-97 km/h) times pushing 6.5 seconds, compared to the earlier model's time also showing 6.5 seconds (albeit 7.1 seconds on average).[45] To commemorate Chevrolet's long relationship with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500 race, a limited edition (4,088 produced) Impala Indy SS was offered in 2004, featuring black grille with gold Chevrolet bowtie emblem that would be carried over to all Impala models in 2005, various Indy logos on the exterior and interior, 17-inch chrome wheels, gauge cluster package, and more.

What is the spark plug gap for a 2002 chevy camaro ss?

If you buy platinum plugs, which is all that should be run in that car, then the gap is set and you should not gap them differently. Gapping platinum plugs can knock the small platinum slug out of the plug. Just buy the right ones a and put them in.
