Google isn't my friend today.

My only guess is this is the part that is located on the passenger firewall by the head. The one with the two nuts that clicks in from the bottom when positioned properly.

Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean the fuel rail pressure sensor?

Yes. Autozone gave me the wrong papers I suppose.

Where is this part located?

I will check under the hood. At first I thought this was on the tank.

Thank you all.

Rock Auto has them for a good price.

Dom,

Here's a picture. The square device in the center. It's screwed into the passenger side fuel rail at the top front of the engine. An electrical connector and a vacum hose.

Weird. Someone who helped me with the sanding came over because he wanted to see the paint, hooked up a device to run for engine codes and none came up. Autozone was telling me the car had the code for the fuel rail sensor. Yet no check engine light. I know how it can take a few times before the check engine light comes on, but I am getting two different stories from two different sources.

Autozone can run the car for codes and make sure the monitors are on, as if a pre-test for the emissions test. I guess I will simply get the real test done before I spend money on a sensor. The car drives fine and hasn't had any engine codes in months. Not since I changed the driver upstream oxygen sensor.

Thank you all. I have located the little box on the fuel rail if need be.

No test this year (even though they keep telling me after every sticker) and the code never registered.

Strange.

Whatever. Time to boogie.

Thanks! I learned something new today. I always wondered what that was for.
