I bought it but I can't find it in my car ,The haynes manuel says it is attached to the air cleaner but it is not there!?? can any one help me out with this one? I am going to try and attach a pic of the new sensor.

Thanks,

That does'nt look like a map sensor.

looks more like a knock sensor.

That is why I took the pic. I didn't think so (but I have no clue) that's what the auto parts store gave me. I'm taking it back tomorrow and I'll let u know

Thanks,
Matt

70mopar may know better than me, but the MAP sensor should be just to the right (as you're seated in the car) of the throttle body, mounted on a bracket with an elect plug & a vacuum line on the other end. sort of rectangular shaped.

I found out where the map sensor is, it is on the firewall wityh a hose coming from the throttle body, my problem was a dry rotted hose! I replaced it and now the car is running perfect again

thanks for all the help,
Matt
