Where is the MAP sensor located on a car?

Answer by  Amber40 (24961)

Well your car should have the 3. 8l ohv 6 cylinder engine. On this engine the manifold air pressure sensor should be located in the center upper part of the engine. It is mounted on front valve cover bracket. It is kinda of a small sensor and can be easily overlooked. It should protrude into the intake itself.

The sensor is located on the passenger side of the engine in front of the intake manifold (which is the black plastic/composite housing also referred to as the plenum). There are two wires and a little connector leading to it. Pay close attention to while installing and removing of map sensors.
