My idle has been erradic for some time - I finally replaced my idle control valve with a new unit and I just got a code for a faulty baro sensor!

I don't know where my barometric pressure sensor is so I don't even know where to find it-any help would be appreciated!

Your vehicle uses the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor and it is located on the throttle body..

Below is a link to explanations for cel codes. The MAP sensor is number 5, but the code I got was number 13. Are the MAP and Baro sensors the same thing?

Sorry about that, upon researching my sources, below is the info. I found for your vehicle with a trouble code 13

Basically you will need to swap your powertrain control module with a known good one. Afterwards reset the engine codes and if the code doesn't come back on with the good PCM you will need to replace the original PCM. Thanks for using 2CarPros.com!
