So I will be putting my drivers side valve cover back on tomorrow and I can't remember how the brackets for the ficm go back on and exactly where the bolts and studs go. I probably should have taken pics as I usually do but for some reason did not this time.. so if anybody has some pics that would be very helpful

 

no pics but my '03 motor has the Aluminum Bracket it sits just beside the breather. There is a small bolt hole that drops a little beside one of the large holes that is the top.

Side note - I always seem to have to move at least one stud around to put the bracket on properly when I remove my valve covers.

My 06 does not have that style of brackets

 

Your brackets still bolt in the same place.

This PDF might help some. It has some images and diagrams.

One bracket goes on very back. Other in middle, jiust hold ficm up there and u can see how it goes.

 

Starting at the middle front and going clockwise... S-B-S-B-B-S... now we are at the middle at the back...and going around the bottom from the back forward..B-S-B-S-B.
S is stud, B is bolt
