Sorry Imageshack suspended the pictures because of too much use if anyone has good pics of what resistor to take out or pictures of the ecu location bolted into the car please PM them to me and I will repost sorry about the inconvienence
Ok first off the tools that you will need are:
Soldering Iron
10mm Socket
Phillips Screwdriver
Brain
This was done on a 95 Eclipse FWD Turbo, im pretty sure this fits all 96 but im not sure check before you go ahead with it. and i dont even think 97up have a governer.
Disconnect your battery, make sure you have Z-rated tires, cause you dont want to die or crash.
And if this messes up your car dont blame me cause i am in no way responsible. It worked fine in mine.
First thing you need to do is remove your 2 center console peices there should only be 2 screws coverd by some little snap on plastic clips to get them out.
Now you need to get rid of the two 10mm nuts that are holding the ECu in on the drivers side. i forgot to circle the bottom nut (sorry)
Now go to the passenger side and get the one 10mm nut that is holding the other side of the ECU in, it is just under the glove box.
Pull ECU out.
Take apart the ECU case there are 4 little black screws holding on the case, screew them out and pull apart the casing.
BE SURE TO TOUCH THE CASING EVERY NOW AND THEN WHILE YOU ARE TOUCHING THE BOARD OR ELSE YOU MIGHT FRY SOMETHING.
(this is to ground the static from your fingers onto the casing)
Then unscrew the 4 gold screws holding the board onto the case.
Not a very good pic but you get the idea, my resistor was in the two bottom holes i think it may vary, but the gola is to get it so there is nothing in both.
heat the solder up thats holding the resistor in and get some pliers and pull it out.
STEP 10 IS A MUST!!!!!!!
smoke a ciggarette before putting it all back in :--)
And if you want you can just clip the resitor at both sides if you dont have a soldering iron, but then you would have to go and buy an iron and a new resistor if you would want to turn your car back to stock, which i dont see why anyone would.
Have fun :----)
heres a little better pic of where the resistor is:
