ANSWER: Not sure what you are calling a CPU. This vehicle has either an ECM (Electronic Control Module) or a BCM (Body Control Module) located in the right kick panel or under the passenger side of the dash.
How did you determine what the car needs? This is the old OBD1 system that was replaced with OBD II. A standard still being used today.
The problem with the old system like in that vehicle is people try to diagnose the problem with the diagnostic flashes in the dash. Unlike the OBD II which will pin point the problem, the old system will tell you the circuit failure, but not the exact component. It was a horrible system to work with even as a seasoned GM Tech.
Tell m the whole story that leads you to believe that you need a computer and maybe I can help.

AnswerHi,
As I had stated, it's located either in the passenger kick panel inside the vehicle or under the passenger side of the dash. You won't miss it. Will have 2 to 3 harnesses running to it with about 50 wires.
