Ur best bet is gonna to get the code. To do that, Jump the 2 pin connector and the CEL will flash the code.

Try dropping the glove box down as far as it will go (rotate the bumpers so they're not in the way). I've seen it just to the right of the glove box. It also might be tucked into the kick panel carpeting. Just gently pull on the smaller looms of wires back there. The one that moves fairly easily will be your best bet.

hih

ok i found this clip thing. has like 2 plugs in it. one with 3 wires(white, and 2 others), and one wih 2 wires(blue, and another color couldn't see too well). i wish i had a flash light. I can't get my hands far enough to unplug them to find out what they are. they are above the ecu. could that be what i am looking for?
