thanks - where does it plug , that is what I need to find as well!

if you're at the driver's side fender facing the engine it's below the intake manifold and connects to the harness. there are 2 plugs there, one leads to the front timing cover and the other to the ignition wires. squeeze the metal clip and it will release the plug.

great I saw it with my mirror, but cant see how to disconnect , a bear to reach and manipulate. I will wait for another day when I have more energy:)

yeah, it seems like a PITA to get off if you've never popped it off before. basically there's a metal spring/clip that holds it in, you squeeze it (front to back in terms of car position IIRC) and it should release.
