Where is the PCM/ECM
undefinedundefined
99' 3.2 TL, 97k miles
Where is the PCM/ECM located on my car?
Also, where is the VTEC pressure switch located?
I am trying to solve this problem:http://acura-tl.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90932

Am I headed in the right direction?
Does anyone have a service manual in PDF format, or know where I can get one for cheap?

The ECU as I have always called, it located behind the center console, mounted to the hump in the floor. You need to pull the carpet back to get to it. There are 4 plugs on the passenger side, and 1 on the driver side. The actual ECU is held in by 2 10mm bolts one at the front, one at the back. The carpet on the driver's side is held in place by a hook, so be careful to not just pull hard and break it.
The Vtec pressure switch is also sometimes called the Vtec solenoid (sp?). If you know what a tranny solenoid looks like, the Vtec one looks similar. I've never looked for one on my car, but it will be attached to the head. I'm pretty sure it's under the plastic intake manifold cover, maybe on the driver front side. Hope that helps.
