map sensor?
I have a 95 5.0l xlt. My question is, where is the map sensor located, and what are some of the signs that it's not functioning properly.I've had some start up issues,and she seems to run differently w/relation to the weather.I've replaced almost every ign. part over the last couple of years, and I know it's not cap,wires or rotor. I just did them.A friend of mine suggested the map sensor, he's a mech, but doesn't live close.

Unless it was moved between 93 and 96 its mounted to the firewall on a bracket atop the air conditioning bulkhead. Has a 3-wire connector and a vacuum line that runs to the large vacuum tree between the fourth and fifth runners in the upper intake plenum.

Ok,I went to my local mechanic. My truck doesn't have a map sensor. He says it probably has a bap sensor. If so ,where is it located in a Bronco? And would this sensor have anything to do with having a real low dle after initial high idle start.After the high idle,it gets real low for 20-30 min.? Also the truck runs very different depending on the weather? Sorry it sounds strange, but it's like having to diff. vehicles. I also just replaced and checked the ECT.
