Airbox, why didn't I think of that!!

That would have been the last place I looked. Looked everywhere else, even in the wheel wells!

Thanks montejass, greatly appreciated!

Damn! If I had seen this one a little earlier, I could have been the savior. The only reason I know that is because when I changed the air intake, the new one had a mount for the PCM. I'm late I know, but I still had to throw my piece in there. You guys know how I am. Ahhaha.

It is mounted in the bottom of the actual air box assembly. The airbox will come apart in two places. The front comes off to service the air filter. It also will come apart in the middle so that you can gain access to the PCM.

the PCM is the thing that controls the Traction control, right? Or is it the brain of the car?

It's your cars computer... or brain... PCM stands for Powertrain Control Module.
Yes, it is programmed to control your traction control also.
