First off don't put that POS on your car... it's not good fro the trans.

That being said you have and EEC-IV or OBD1....

Welcome to LvC!!!

I have no idea what that thing you bought is / what it does, but I doubt you need it. It's best to not waste too much money on a '93 trans, IMO.

PCM box: Look at your brake pedal arm - it's up and to the left of that.

 

[kustomizingkid]

The PCM is under the drivers side of the dash.

The problem with the B&M kit is all it does is ramp up the pressure in the trans, the mod I would recommend is the JMOD, it is a modification to the separator plate of the VB that lets the fluid flow quicker so the trans shifts harder.

The JMOD will help the durability of the trans... the B&M not so much.

thanks man! its an electronic shift improver check it out http://www.jegs.com/p/B-M/B-M-ShiftPlus-Electronic-Shift-Improver/748074/10002/-1 ... and is cheap so dont worry... so the PCM is located in my left side? under the dash? or next to the door?

 

[juaNitoO]

I had the b&m shift improver for about 3 days. It caused a check engine light and i never used it again. JMOD FTMFW

Under dash, left side of steering column, just up from your brake pedal. (actual brake pedal, not the park brake pedal)

Do not, I repeat Do not use an electronic ship improver on a Mark VIII, on a gen 2 you can damage the ECM, the electronic shift improver shares part of the heater circuit for the O2 sensors, at first after a couple days you will throw a code if you continue to use it you can do permanent damage to the ECM. I am not sure about the Gen 1.

J-mod or baumann kit!!!!!!nuff said!!!
