Right side. Remove the interior screws (plastic fastener, whatever) and it should be right there.
CEL thread <-- Look there

Isnt it right next to the passenger's right foot like all Civic's and teg's? If you have never chipped an ECU, have it done professionally because if you accidentally solder something the wrong way your ecu might get messed up. If you have a spare one to use as you work, then go for it.

Was your car a theft recovery? Wiring shouldnt look like that. Good luck to you. You will need to buy the socket then desolder the one on the ecu etc etc. Dont rush either.
P-30s are pretty expensive.

I hope you arent driving that car around with that busgetti hanging around, hehe

tuning all depends on mods: injectors, cams, cam gears, etc. A p-30 is basically a p-28 with a knock sensor.

You want to chip your ECU with I/H/E?

With your mods, a chipped ECU will probably make your car run shitty and you will get worse gas mileage.

Your better off on saving the money until you get something like at least a cam or something internal for you engine.

What your doing is like tiping a flat chested girl at the titti bar, **** if you are gonna spend the money you better make it your while and tip the big titti girl that you will enjoy more.
