The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor is on the driver's side fender apr0n. Remove the coolent expansion tank and it is above the row of five solenoid controlled vacuum valves.

Any luck getting the EEC error codes?

Hi! Unfortunately I have not been able to do anything yet, the weekend is now here so I will be getting down with all the suggestions and input I have received so far. I have printed a new book for her. Cool. You know what's a real trip is that when I turn right she goes like new but when I turn left she bogs down and almost dies. Do you know what that is all about. I am knowledgeable in alot of areas about mechanics and at the same time quite dumb when it comes to electronics,

no time like now to start learning though. Thanks

I replaced the map sensor, distributor, selinoid, and the ignition module located on the distributor. Guess what it still runs like shiznit. I have yet to pull the codes though I did purchase a multi-meter. So any thoughts? The fuel pressure regulator is going in this weekend.
Help I am at my wits end...A girl can only take so much. :dunno:

I would search for some info on jcassity if I were you. He know alot about bogging down on turns and stuff. Just look for some threads by him, or possibly pm him. He said something about fuel pressure being bad on his, but I doubt that is your problem because of how rich it runs

Could still be one of the following:

- Clogged catalytic converter (my gut says this is it)
- Bad O2 sensor
- Clogged charcoal cannister and/or bad cannister purge valve

A bad air pump would also explain the turning/bogging thing but that might just be amplified by the real problem, whatever that may be. The key is the belching of black smoke, and somewhere along the line you're getting major carbon blowing through the exhaust. Either your car is using way too much fuel, or you have an emissions problem. That's about all it can be. Well, maybe a bad computer, but let's not cross that bridge until we get to it.
