It is in the left (drivers side) end of the intake manifold under the engine cover. Just to the side of the throttle body. Lift the engine cover off and you will see it just like the image below. Disconnect the battery negative cable first. Then remove the electrical connector safety lock and the connector and rotate the sensor 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and then pull it up out of the manifold. When replacing be sure to put a small amount of silicone grease on the o-ring to keep it from sticking in the manifold.

Having an issue with idle or power that leads you to the MAP sensor or something else?
