Where is the MAP sensor on a Ford Ranger 2.9 liter V6?

The MAP sensor on a Ford Ranger 2.9L V6 is typically located on the intake manifold. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the year of your Ranger. It's usually mounted directly to the manifold itself or on a bracket very near it. It's a small sensor, often black or gray, and will have a vacuum hose connected to it.

To be certain, you'll need to:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best source for the precise location.

* Use a repair manual or online diagrams: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your specific year Ranger will show you a diagram of the engine bay. Online resources like auto parts websites (e.g., Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone) often have diagrams you can access if you enter your vehicle's information.

Look for the sensor near the throttle body and upper intake plenum. The vacuum hose connection is a good visual clue. If you are still having trouble finding it, a picture of your engine bay could assist someone in helping you locate it.
