Sensor Locations????? 97 Awd 4.0

Idle Air Control (IAC) valve is located on the top right hand side of the upper intake manifold. A cylindrical looking affair about the diameter of a 50 cent piece and 6-7 inches long. It has an electrical connector and is held on by two bolts.

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is found on the very front of the throttle body on the right hand side. A black, plastic box with an electrical connector.
