Fuel infection woes

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

The ICM is mounted next to the knock box (the knock box 
has vacuum connection) under that metal bracket between 
the wiper motor and the driver's side of the car.  The ICM 
is quite small and mounted to a heat sink.  You have to 
remove the ECU to get the metal bracket with the knock box 
and the ICM out.
