Dodge Repair: Where is the MAP sensor on a 98 5.9 gas?, lbs torque, sensor position


Question
Hi Kevin,
I bought a used 98 van with a bad 5.9 and had a good used one installed. Now can't get the check-engine light to go out. A smog tester told me the codes indicated bad oxy sensors. I replace both with no effect - after reconnecting battery, light is out for about 20 miles, then comes back. I read that a bad MAP sensor might cause it, so I bought one. Can't find where it is on the intake manifold! If you think I should pursue this and replace it, can you tell me where it is? Or, do you think I'm barking up the wrong tree? Any other suggestions to get the light to go out?
thanks a lot,
Scott Scheffer
