From what I've read on the forum, my stalling upon acceleration is likely caused by the map sensor. Could someone help me with the location? I can't seem to find it. Also, will disconnecting the sensor help me with diagnosing the problem rather than running out and buying a new one? Thanks

So I figured I better post a reply for those who are viewing this thread and looking for the answer also. I finally had time to take it to a mechanic today and the first thing he told me was " 87' 3.8 doesn't have a MAP sensor". He told me it had to be the MAF sensor , which I'd tried a wrecker replacement to no avail. I went to the wrecker today and figured I'd try a few replacements in hopes that the one I tried previously was a dud. The first one I tried the check engine light never came on and away I went. Thanks to those who gave me consideration and I hope this info will be valuable to someone else.
