I have a 95 Cabrio that runs rough and has been troubleshot to either a speed sensor or a bad ECU. It runs good as long as you are accelerating which points to the rpm sensor. When the transmision shifts into drive (4th gear) and the rpms drop off the engine bucks and runs rough but as soon as you manually downshift to third gear the rpms go up and the engine runs smooth. As long as the rpms are maintained between 3000 and 3500 the engine runs smooth. Please show me where the engine speed sensor is located and the easiest way to remove it. Thanks

It's just below the battery on the left side of the engine...
