    They are on the front and rear of the intake manifold "Ball". 2 screws and a wire connector. They are interchangeable.

    There are two. You can see one on the front of the intake pipe right by the throttle body (below the intake manifold). The other is in the same position but on the firewall side of the intake pipe. The front one is easy to get at. The back one? Not so much...

      FWIW, I seem to recall that they were positioned on the body of the intake manifold for cooling purposes. I'm pretty sure the two modules are interchangeable. I had one fail, and confirmed that it was the module by swapping the two modules to make sure the alternate bank of cylinders failed after the swap.

        What did the car run like with the 3 cylinders out?

          Like absolute crap. It's 3 consecutive, not 3 alternating, so the car rocks like crazy. And we're not talking about 1/2 the hp either. It's more like 1/3 with all the pumping losses in the cylinders not making power. Can't get out of its own way...

            All true. When one of my modules failed, though, at least I was able to limp back the few miles to get home without having to get towed. I was impressed that it at least had that much power!
