Luckily not, it was in that cavity beneath the back of the intake manifold that you can't see without taking the manifold off.



I finally ponied up $200 to replace the driver's DLA last year. Quite a pain to replace but the peace of mind I had was really great, at least for the next week or so before the key cylinder in the driver's door broke! This last 12-18 months really has been a brutal stretch of ownership on this car.
