ok your pcm is attached to the fender front passenger side right above the wheel well inside the engine compartment its a sivler box with lots of wires into 3 big connectors, the coil is under the alternator, behind the belt tensoner. hope that helps if not look at your distributer and follow the wire from the center of the cap to the other end, thats the coil.

Justin,
F the pcm, do what Shane said and use the ground wire on the primary (12v) side of the coil. That's the wire I used and it works fine. The starter module uses the current from this wire to determine when to shut off the starter. I always thought they used a timer until I installed mine. Visit this page for some info on alternate schemes:Remote car starter installation guide
