The PCM is located near the air filter housing. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers

It just seems like sometimes it gets good gas milage thenit dont. Sometimes it seems like the engine I running rough. Now my air bag light is on. I cant seem to fix the problem with the temperature gauge reading like its getting hot. The fans dont come on unless I turn the a/c on and back of then they cool it down and the fans will shut off on there own, but once they shut off they wont come back on unless I turn the a/c on and back off.

For the fans I would check the coolant temp sensor to start with before replacing the ecm. The air bag light is a different computer then the ecm. Have you even checked for codes yet?

Also a bad coolant temp sensor can make it run rough and effect gas mileage.

Your going to have to get a scan tool that can read live data so you can see what the sensor is reading back to the computer. There like 54 on amazon try this unplug the coolant temp sensor with it running see if the cooling fan comes on.

Iam talking about a obd2 code reader that can read some live engine data on obd2 cars. Which would include coolant temp just search for AL309. Have you unplugged the coolant temp sensor connector while its running to see if the cooling fan comes on?
