I dunno cause I don't know what MAP stands for. The MAF (mass airflow
sensor) up to 2000 is located next to the air cleaner at the beginning of
the duct. It's flat and black and has two wires. The IAC (Idle Air
Control) valve (also up to 2000) is located on top of the engine right
about
in the middle. These two sensors have a reputation of needing cleaning or
replacement, at least on previous years.
How do you know for sure that the sensor needs replacing? The MAF and
IAC
are easily replaced and you can probably find an aftermarket sensor for a
lot less $$ than from Ford but I would have doubts about putting a Chinese
sensor in my Mexican truck (91 Explorer).
