Default ECU location Please

Is the ECU located by the battery/ rear valve cover on the passenger side?

Yes, right next to the firewall. two clips on top and it tilts out.

yes, for the Gen I, ECU is attached to the driver side bumper.
Perhaps the Gen II is next to the firewall.

I orginally thought that is where it is at but then when I started searching it said else wise. I am in Pittsburgh and my son is at my shop on his 18th Birthday trying to find it so I can ship this and the programmer to Maggie. If someone is still up and can tell me does it come out of the wheel well behind the cover or do you remove the panel on the bottom of the front bumper or does it come out by the air filter? Your help would be Great.

My youngest actually thought I would give her mine after 4 years when she got her license. Silly girl, no 550hp for her You eldest just got a 2007 Ford Focus with a 4 cylinger. I figure she can't go that fast, she can't fit that many people in it, and lastly, tough to have sex in a Focus

My daughter who got a new Tiburen GT when she was 16 and was pissed I got the V because she wanted at least a CTS. My Son who loves his GXP a Babies the Hell out of it to the point he would rather drive a 90 Astro van instead of putting miles on his GXP. Hell, I let him take over payments on my Colorado so he would not have to drive the Astro and now He's Babying that to the point he was talking about driving the Astro Van to keep the miles off of the Colorado too. It is amazing how you can raise your kids the same way and one wants you to give them the world and the other never looks for anything......

I am just anti child. We have our puppies and the little one doesnt even get to RIDE in teh V as she has a drooling issue in cars(motion sickness).

The other LOVES car rides but still hasnt seen any action in the V.

but tell your son cars are NOT assets. Drive em. They willg et miles. in 99.9999% of the cases they are going to lose value either way. Might as well get your moneys worth and enjoy your possesion.
