Hi,

If I recall, you will need to remove the throttle body to access the mounting bolt. The bolt head will be a T25 (torx bit).

I attached two pics below. They were the best I could find. Take a look at them and let me know if you are able to locate the sensor.

Let me know.

Joe

See pics below.

Thank you so much. The diagram really helped me a lot. I have another question if you don’t mind. The connector to MAP sensor has 4 wires I want to test. I am not sure which is hot wire or ground, or signal wire is there any identification by the color. Thank you for your help.

The grn/wht wire is the 5 volt reference, the other two go to the PCM , here is the wiring daigrams for the MAP sensor so you can see how it works. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
