Electronic spark control?

Hey guys, My car keeps setting a code for the Electronic Spark Contol and It dies out in 5th gear pulling a hill. Where Is my ESC?? Its a 1991 Camaro Z28 with the F code 305 TPI engine.

The ESC module is in the ECM. See the MEMCAL/PROM sticky at the top of this board for a picture of it.

Usually the cause of a code 43 on that engine is the sensor or the sensor connector. The sensor is located in the block, passenger side, near the pan rail in front of the starter. Need to go under the car to get to it.
