don't really need pictures. remove the glove box, to do so, on the left hand side of the box is a removable stub, remove it, and then press the right side of the box in and let it drop down, now on the left side of the opening, your gonna see a box, on the left bottom corner your gonna see a cover, pull it towards you, now you have access the wiring harness, unplug all the clips (4 of them) and then unscrew/bolt the ECU, i'm pretty sure 4 bolts. when this happens it will drop down on to the passenger floor

hope that helps a little.

It's just like nastea said, except there are (3) bolts in a triangle pattern you have to take out. Just make sure you unplug the (4) wiring harness plugs first, it makes it much easier. By the way, you'll have to kind of stand on your head to see the yellow wiring harness plugs.

The largest connector on my ecu almost drew blood - it was stuck! My fingers were raw in the end.

Search of "ECU Removal" would have gotten you a thread in the how to forum that explains it.
