The FSM is a factory dervice manual.
The ecu should be located in the front passenger side kick plate (a plastic cover under and to the right of the glove box) remove the cover and you will see the ecu. there is a bolt or 2 holding it in place so remove the bolts. If the ecu is not there then its behind your stereo. look on the side oposite of where the wire harness connects to the ecu and you will see the diagnostics screw and a red light (the light is in a little square opening next to the screw. Turn your ignition to the on position (do not start the car) then, on the ecu turn the screw fully clockwise then wait 2 seconds and turn the screw back fully counter clockwise. then watch the red light on the ecu and count the flashes. (explanation: when the light flashes once and then pauses then flashes twice that meens 12, if it flashes 3 times then pauses then flashes 2 times thats telling you code 32) each code will flash 3 times then it will go to the next code and flash that code 3 times and so on. I hope you understand what I mean. Just write down the codes it flashes you and then check your factory service manual for the definitions of each code the ecu flashes. If you dont have a FSM go get a chilton's or haines book for your car to check code definitions. If you have any problems pm me back.
