Hi,

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is mounted to the front of the intake manifold air plenum box. It's approx behind the alternator. To remove it, simply turn it counterclockwise a 1/4 turn. When you reinstall it, make sure the o-ring is in good condition and sealing.

Here are the directions. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

1. Disconnect electrical connector at sensor by sliding release lock out. Press down on lock tab for removal.

2. Rotate sensor (3) 1/4 turn counterclockwise for removal.

3. Check condition of sensor O-ring.

Installation is the reverse of removal.
