easiest way to do it is to "T" into the map line. put your hand on the oil fill cap, move it towards to passenger side fender you will hit the map sensor, it is a 2"x2" black box with a harness plugged into the front of it. on the back is a rubber hose that goes into the intake. "T" in to that hose close to the intake.
