the previous owner of my car put an aftermarket computer on it, but i do not know what kind it is. i have not been able to find it anywhere in the car. are there any specific wires that i could trace back to the computer? or if nothign else, where are the usual places to mount a computer?

 

UNDER THE passenger floor carpeting !!!!
the ecu or the cpu?

 

It should be right in front of you
TV looking thing, with a beige metal box next to it, a thin typewriter, and a little plastic thing w/ a ball on the bottom and a cord, sitting on a neoprene pad.
I hope you can find your computer.

 

Try looking under the driver's or passenger side seat.

Good one Node...

 

bwahahaha thats classic

node = smartass

good luck, RICERocket!

 

not under the seats. are there any wires under the dash or int eh engine bay that i could trace back to it?

 

Pop the hood.

Remove both battery cables.

Turn battery 180 degrees.

Install cables on reversed battery.

This will connect - to + and + to - (backwards)

Observe interior of car.

follow smoke.

 

lift up pas side of carpet, undo metal plate. underneith is computer. if it was chiped you'll have to open up the ecu to see.

 

 

I almost didn't find mine...I have a black metal box and my plastic thing with a cord has a red light on the bottom.

Hey wait, this one does have a ball...the other one is optical.

 

if you sit in the passenger seat with your legs extended, it's under your feet where the floor is at an incline. remove the scuff plate on the door and pull up the carpet. it's the metal box that's under the kick plate (need to remove that too).

it takes about 10 mins to get to.
