86 Ranger 2.9L needs help.

My truck has EFI. Something is giving it too much gas at times. I've been told it's the M.A.P. sensor. If so where is it located? Repair manuel said it's on the firewall or enter fender well. What does it look like?
Thanks .....

Black box with 3 wires in a connector and a vacuum hose attached to it that goes to the intake, Should be mounted on the rt side of the cowl on a bracket

There are several things that could cause your problem, how have you determined that the MAP is the problem? Did you pull the codes and run the pinpoint tests? A defective fuel pressure regulator, intake/exhaust leaks and defective wiring can cause this problem.

Guess what, the M.A.P. sensor was not the problem. I had it checked and nothing was wrong. Next I plan to check the vacuum hose for leaks. Then what?

Pull the codes, check for intake/exhaust leaks, next run it for a minute and then pull the vacuum line off the fuel pressure regulator and look for gas, gas is bad, also check fuel pressure.
