remove plastic door sill; remove triagle shaped piece that runs verticle to the right side of the passengers right foot, pull up carpet; remove 10mm bolts holding the cover, there is your ECU. If you plan on doing something with the ECU, you need to remove I think 4 10mm bolts to get it out. If you just want to look at it, then you are preaty bored and should have figured this all out on your own.

RAngerJoe: well, getting at it is damn easy, (there are 6 screws on the door sill, and 3 plugs on the panel) then just pop up the carpet clips (and the carpet will come with it) then undo the 2 10mm bolts at the base of the kickplate, then the 2 10mm nuts at the top (hidden under the dash to some extent... just use an extension...)
Yet another question though (to anyone who has gone through the ECU checking):
Is it okay to remove the ECU from the floor so that I can get access to the pins? (my voltage probe isn't gonna fit in there as it is right now...) Is there anything I need to worry about knocking out/disconnecting accidentally? (other than the plugs in the front...)
