Does anyone know where MAP sensor is located on 1998 V70?
I know it has one electrical connection, and one vacuum hose nipple.
I just don't see it...

Just behind the passenger side headlight. Attached to the fender. Lemme see if I can find a picture under my hood.

Well...hmm, I don't have any that show it.

But here

Right in front of the ECU box in front of the coolant tank. I think it's sorta red and black.

I don't see it in front of coolant tank, or behind passenger headlight.
Also, I took a look at your picture, took the black cover of, and don't see it there either. It looks like throtle positioning sensor is there, but not MAP.
I saw it on FCP site si I kind of know what I'm looking for, and 1998 models suposedly have it.

Passenger side fender, not near the throttle body.

Whoops, sorry. That was a picture I used for something else, and I didn't realize it still had the circle in it from the little one on photobucket

Jeez, you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a decent picture...in fact, I can't, and don't have my car with me right now, or I'd run out and take one. All the pictures I have of it face the engine compartment the other way for some reason, and apparently so do everyone else's.

I drew a red circle in this one around the area where it SHOULD be.

Right in front of the windshield washer fluid fill cap, there's a little black thing like you saw on the FCP site with a wire going to it - it should be one of very few wires in that area that comes up and connects to something other than the headlight.

Mine is also a 98 model, and it IS there.

If your car is throwing codes for it, I suggest unplugging it and cleaning the connector with rubbing alcohol. I did this for mine (and also accidentally dropped an entire pan of wrenches on it trying to fix something else), and the code that I was getting every 3 days or so hasn't appeared in more than a year.

First, I would like to thank everyone for their responses. I appreciate them alll. I looked carefully, again, and again, and I just don't see anything that looks like MAP sensor near the mentioned area. There is a brown color connector there that isn't plugged into anything. Maybe this model doesn not have MAP sensor.

Same here.
