Take the little kick panel off closest to the firewall on the console side - one little plug thing. (Mines RHD and is easiest from the passenger side.)

If u replace..all u do is swap them yes. un bolt and un plug. but i doubt ur ecu is bad... unless u plan un putting a modded on in..or a ZE one (for future ze motor of course)
