Hi,

I'm not sure if you have the 4-cylinder turbo or the 3.5L V6, but both should be located in the air induction tube between the air filter box and the throttle body.

I attached a pic below. Let me know if it helps.

Take care,

Joe

I have the v6 but it’s no wire attachment harness or anything connected to that part of the air induction tube and also, I see no way to open air duct tube no screws nothing to indicate it comes apart.

Hi,

The air induction tube is clamped at each end. Loosen the clamps and you'll be able to remove it.

If you have the V6 and there is no MAF sensor, there will be a MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure sensor).

First, I copied your pic and circled the two clamps top remove from the air induction tube. The second pic shows the MAP sensor location.

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
