I can't seem to locate where the Map sensor is located. My VIN in WDDHF9BB4CA491570.

Where is this located along firewall? Driver's side? Passenger side? High? Low? Any disassembly required for access?

Isn't it on the backside of the V8 air box.

A bit of roughness at startup/idle. Random misfire mostly in cyl 1and some in cyl 3. CEL P300. No signs of oil in cam shaft position sensor or cam magnets electrical connections. I changed those out months ago plus added pigtails to the cam magnets.
