The MAP sensor is located on the driver's side of the engine compartment next to the air filter housing and shock tower.
It is a small plastic component with one vacuum hose coming off of it and an electrical connector that has two wires. . Sometimes just replacing the part is a waste of money. The fact that the code has indicated the problem is the MAP sensor, doesn't mean it is bad. As an example, check to see if the Vacuum hose is secure and not disconnected or split at either end.
Good luck.Here's what it looks like.

OPERATION
See Figures 1, 2 and 3
Fig. Fig. 1: MAP sensor location-2.4L engine
Fig. Fig. 2: MAP sensor location-3.0L engine
Fig. Fig. 3: MAP sensor location-3.3L and 3.8L engines
The PCM supplies 5 volts of direct current to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor. The MAP sensor then converts the intake manifold pressure into voltage. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor output voltage. As vacuum increases, the MAP sensor voltage decreases proportionately. Also, as vacuum decreases, the MAP sensor voltage increases proportionally.
With the ignition key ON , before the engine is started, the PCM determines atmospheric air pressure from the MAP sensor voltage. While the engine operates, the PCM figures out intake manifold pressure from the MAP sensor voltage. Based on the MAP sensor voltage and inputs from other sensors, the PCM adjusts spark advance and the air/fuel ratio. The MAP sensor is mounted to the intake manifold, near the throttle body inlet to the manifold. The sensor connects electrically to the PCM.
TESTING

WARNING
When testing the MAP sensor, make sure the harness wires do not become damaged by the test meter probes.
