Where is the Engine Power Control Module Generally Installed?

Engine power control module is generally installed on the right side of the gear shift box. Introduction to Engine Control Module: The automotive engine control module is the core component of engine control. Based on input information from various sensors, it controls engine fuel injection and ignition timing, while providing optimal control commands to output devices. Introduction to Engine: An engine is a machine capable of converting various forms of energy into mechanical energy, including internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, electric motors, etc.
After driving for so many years, I have to tell you that the engine power control module is usually located in the engine bay. In Volkswagen cars, it's often hidden behind the black plastic panel under the wipers, while Japanese cars tend to place it between the firewall and the battery. This thing controls the engine's fuel injection and ignition, so it's wrapped in a metal casing for waterproofing and shock resistance. Once, I helped a friend check his Ford pickup, and we finally found it under the intake manifold. Remember, never try to remove it yourself—last time, my neighbor accidentally knocked off the connector pins with a screwdriver and fried the control board. The location might vary in newer cars, so checking the manual is the most accurate way.
