Along the firewall, just to the right of the fuel filter. Look for the vacuum hose going from the throttle body to the MAP Sensor.

My bet is that your ECM is fried, if the CEL stays on when you turn the ignition key to ON (Position II).

Red = +
Black = Negative

You turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II) and connect the right-hand socket in the connector to the red test lead. Connect the black test lead to any ground on the engine block.
