As I'm looking at the board on both sides I don't see where I can replace them. I'll take a pic of the bottom of board.



This is the area of that cap.

It can be done. How well is a matter of time and money.

You could try yourself or just spend $50 at a local electronics repair and let them do it with the correct equipment.

I've done 2 and had a shop do 2.

Pretty much every thing is a matter time and money. My problem is I don't have either time or money most of the time. Lol I solder very well but I don't want to mess it up. If I had a easy capasitors or diodes to remove and replace but there are no clear spots to desolder.

It looks like the 10 at 50 is leaking to me and is bad.
You need to stick another one in there before any trace damage is done.

Note the square is POS and the circle is NEG on all caps and diodes.

No they are not surface soldered.
You will have to heat both pins and pull the cap from the board and then suck the solder from each connection.

Ok I'm trying to research the caps. Does the number on the cap which is w2p 10 50v = 10 uf or microfarrad 50 volts?

It is 10 microfarad at a rating of 50 volts or more volts would be good also.

My last order:

Thanks subford for your incredible knowledge. So as long as it's 10uf 50v or 47uf 16v capacitor it'll work. I've found both on Amazon but the shipping is more than the part at .35 and .51 cents respectively. Last thing It looks like my caps are surface mount because the solder is on the top but when they come in I'll be able to know for sure.

Order the capacitors through a electronics retailer like DigiKey or Mouser. Rubycon, Nippon Chemi Con and Panasonic are top-brands of capacitors. I'd recommend something from one of them.

Ok so I've cleaned my maf and the iac valve including the sensor inside the airbox. Put it all back together including the pcm(for now till my capacitors come in next week) also ordered and received my code reader. With all back and running so far my koeo test is 111, 111 and with truck up to operating temperature I get 412, 536 and 632 that's because.didn't turn over drive switch off or the break test. Now the not controlling rpm high side not sure if I didn't do something right even though I did the wot test when instructed but did it at the throttle body.

So my capacitors came in today and I desoldered the old one's and soldered the news in.



She don't look pretty but I think it will work.





This is the 10uf cap.
