Two things off the top and I'll get to the rest...One, where the hell is the ecu/ecm on this car and what should it look like??!!! I'm sitting here w the console and head unit out but all I can find is the airbag computer.
Second, I need to know how to get my oil filter off...yes I kno, dumb question but this thing was ON THERE!!! I tried every wrench advance had and nothing would fit, finally dude shows me the cap wrenches and I almost fed it to him! When I get it home and slap it on, it slips coz the pliers dented the top...yay!!! I couldn't even budge it by hand and I'm not a lil guy by any means...tried duct tape, went around twice then flipped it so the sticky was up to maybe help a lil w grip-nothing. Last resort was screw driver all the way thru the side...nope, that just made big gashes so I got pissed and cut it all off . My next step, dad told me get a hack saw blade and cut around the threads, but not all the way then take hammer and punch n that should knock it loose. Any help? Thanks!
