If it's not the map sensor than your motor is toast

map sensor is located on the driver's side rear of the firewall (towards the top, near the wiper blade shroud), basically opposite the steering column. The vacuum hose plugs in underneath.....if you see an exposed plastic nipple pointing downward, than that is your problem.

You're welcome. I figured as much....unless heavily modified, these cars aren't *that* easy to blow up, contrary to what some of the lesser-informed forum members would have you believe.
