How about starting with why you need to replace it? Or are you just trying to find it for other reasons? To be honest I don’t know it’s exact location but I’m curious as to why you’re looking for it.

I was wanting to clean it and found out that my car does not have a idle control valve. I clean my Mass airflow sensor and not much of a change. Im thinking it could be something to do with my cars computer. I noticed after removed my battery connection and clean my battery terminals, i notice my idle changed. When stopped in gear it would stay at good idle for couple days. The other thing i noticed was my idle jumping when my rpm dropped to 1000 before stopping like it was tryin to drive itself. Two days later it went back to the same as before. So could it be adjusting after i cleaned my connections to the battery, it seems like it reset itself and was adjusting.. Could it be electrical since my throttle is electrical?

Some vehicles that are drive by wire require a idle reset usually with a scan tool if the battery has been disconnected.

You could try searching the net for a manual reset.

If you are experiencing idle issues, i would be looking for vacuum leaks to start with.

Don’t assume it’s the computer or some other complicated explanation. Start with the simple stuff first before you go down the rabbit hole of complex theories.
