miko,

On my 89 jetta, it was #32 on the fuse panel. It controls the ECU and if you take the cover off and look closely with a glass, you might see the cracks on the solder where the tabs are joined to the little circuit board.

On my car, every time I hit a bump, like a bridge deck, the car would stutter and sometimes even die. It took a long time to find those cracks.
