Can anyone point me to the MAP sensor location on a '98 TL 3.2? Thanks in advance.

 

 

Thank you. Is this a '97? My '98 doesn't look quite like that, and the part circled doesn't look like the exact replacement part that I ordered.

Never dreamed it would be hidden so well. Any thoughts??

 

Actually, I'm confused. Everything looks the same except for the area right where the sensor is! Argh. I'll look again.

 

I could be wrong but I thought that 96-98 were the same.

 

your car doesnt have the traction control. the one in the pic does. it will be in a similar location.

 

Exactly.

Only the intake and ECU are different in the TCS/No-TCS cars.

 

I notice that a lot the 'aftermarket' ones like what you'd get from Autozone, OReilly, etc. have only one mounting ear while the OEM has two.

 

I notice you asked the same question over on Acura Forum. That site is deader than this one when it comes to 1 gen TL's so don't expect much there. You know what it looks like, right? Shouldn't be that hard to find. It's on the pipe between the air cleaner and the throttle body. Mine only looks different in the picture becuse, as mentioned, yours doesn't have traction control. Why do you think you need to change it? I seldom hear of those going bad. Rather expensive part to throw at an unknown problem.......

 

yeah man, thats pretty rare, and some times when that code reads from the obd2 its something else causing it, like a split hose or vac leak...and its pretty simple, if yours has one hole and the aftermarket has two then its the wrong part, something somewhere isnt right in what you or the parts guy are looking for.

 

It's the other way around; OEM-2 holes, aftermarket-1 hole. The one I pictured in post #9 isn't the right one for a 3.2 but that's pretty much what it looks like.

 

point is the parts are the same or they arent. one is right one is not. thats all i meant.
