Where is the map sensor in a 96 dodge stratus

SOURCE: MAF Sensor 2004 Dodge Stratus

If your car has a MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor, it would be located in the air delivery tube that runs from the air filter box to the throttle plate assembly on the intake manifold. It will have a wiring connector going to it, also. The MAF does exactly what it is called: It "senses" the volume, or "mass" of the air-flow; thusly it needs to be in the intake air tube. If you do NOT have such a device in the air-tube, you have a MAP sensor, (Manifold Absolute Pressure); this is another way of measuring the same air volume, albeit older technology. You will commonly find this device on the firewall, with a vacuum line running to the intake manifold.

I hope that this sheds some light on your question.

You may want to have a mechanic do this, not as easy as replacing an accessory belt. But if you decide to do it you will definitley need a timing light, 3 jaw gear puller, a harmonic balance puller and many other tools most people dont have in their garage

Alright I think I might have the same problem. I am trying to add the photos of where the sensor is but I am not sure it is going to work. If the pics do not come through, then just look to the left of the transmission dip stick and I believe it is the on the back side of the engine. It has a red clip that is holding on the wires to the sensor and it is the left one of the two clips back there. Also before replacing the sensor check out the link below. Another person was having the same problem and fixed it without replacing the sensor. The guy helping him said that if you have bad spark plugs or wires it could trip the MAP sensor trouble code. Hope this helps.

it is located on the right side of the motor, in the trans area. Actually in the bell housing.
