as do I. its my understanding that there were two versions of the car BG5A & B. the one I used for my car was a BG5A and it had a separate TCU located at the steering column - box had 3 black plugs.
the B version stuck all of it in the main ECU.

Yeah as Chris said the TCU was part of the ECU in the 97-99 series they have a single white plug with a bolt holding it to the loom.

Yep under the foot rest if you have a separate TCU (you wont) its under the dash above the accelerator pedal.
