Picture obtained by searching PCM location threads.




Hopefully you have done some diagnostic testing before removing the computer?

Use a broom stick to pry down on the plastic inner fender a small amount. Or remove a few screws to completely remove it. Disconnect the battery before removing the PCM connector.

Yup, remove inner fender screws, on the outer lip of the fender well, and also 2 or 3 bolts at lower back and inside of inner fender.
