The Engine Control Module (ECM) (3.0L) is On top right rear of engine-bring it in to the dealership and have them test it

Just to add to this one those car are known for bad tps sensor's and the harness going to the throttle body.The tps sensor is built into the throttle body and not serviceable separately.If you post the code number's you have that would really help there is a tsb that if you have certain code number's it tells you to replace the throttle body and the connector going to the throttle body.
