According to the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual it is relativly large and located next to the main relay next to the ECM.

Does that help?

From memory I the engine ECU sits vertically in a closed plastic box immidiatly behind the battery, I think you have to take the battery cover off. Have a look around there and if you can't find it I'll have another look at the manual.

Not wishing to be a smart arse but can you trace the thick wire that is connected to the middle/first glow plug,that will make its way back to the relay or get a mate to turn the ignition on and pop your head under the bonnet and listen for a loud audible click,that might give you a clue to its where abouts, thats if it is a mechanical type relay

Tracing wires on that engine is a nightmare. The loom is very well made and neat but hell to follow a wire.

I know the Engine loom plugs into that box by a big round multiplug on the inside of it so it is a good place to look anyway.

May well use someone to listen for it as it does make quite a noise (when it comes on)
