Hi,

To access it, you will need to remove the air filter cover and the air intake tube between the air filter box and the throttle body. It will be located on the cylinder head (passenger side) near the alternator.

I attached the extremely vague directions from my manual for this process.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Thank you for your reply. Have removed those things and still can't get to it. It's on the other side and blocked in there.

Hi,

Are you able to upload a picture of what you are seeing so I can take a look? It should be accessible. Are you saying it is on the rear of the engine?

Let me know.

Hi,

I think I understand. When you say rear of the engine, do you mean between the engine and firewall? Is the alternator in your way? If that is the case, you need to disconnect the battery and remove the alternator. You should be able to access it that way.

Let me know.

Joe
