The MAP sensor is on top of the throttle body. There is a small black plastic piece to one side with a connector running to it, help in by one bolt. Remove the bolt, and the chip should pop out, that's the MAP sensor. If black smoke is present it will be the exhaust that is black, basically the car will be running rich.

Actually, its on top of the intake manifold, right behind the throttle body.

This thread is really getting out of control.....

Sorry, my mistake, it's actually right behind the TB on the manifold, passenger side, with a green connector coming up from the bottom. And yes all 95's should have them, it's backup in case the MAF sensor fails, in which case the car will switch back to SD programming.

Damn, Fred beat me to it before I could correct my mistake!

I can't believe this..... someone posts a rambling message of how a new MAP sensor is a "cure all" for everything wrong with your car, and there is a feeding frenzy like a bunch of pirhana's on a 3-day old corpse. I already see people with new posts asking for the part number, where to buy it, what about a high performance one, etc.

Rob/Shoebox had the best advice... .if it ain't broke, it doesn't need to be fixed. 800 nitrous HP and my engine runs fine with the stock MAP sensor.... even after a major nitrous "pop" in the intake manifold.

If there is a weak link, its the flimsy harness connector that eventually crumbles and falls apart, but that's on the wiring harness, not on the sensor - no, I don't know the part number or where to buy a high performance connector

Save your money.

There is no '4 speaker' system Bose for 4th gen F body..
It's either 3 [2 front with rear sub]or 5[2 front 2 wing and rear sub]..

lol that explains everything... i think

it does sound like my sole 94 rear speaker is getting more juice than before.

like two clicks of vol is now way louder, like half way up used to be, and kinda distorted on the low end.

so the stated 4-speaker vert setup sends more juice? it looks exactly the same as the 94 HU ....
