Anyone know what sensor this is? i was just recently lookin at my engine for an attack plan on changing my knock sensor and noticed this has nothing plugged into it and seems as if there is a vacumm line disconnected nearby also...any ideas?

It looks like MAP sensor solenoid switch.

And she is right because, the MAP sensor is located right on your factory air intake snorkel and the MAF sensor is located near the left fender which is 4 times the size of what you've posted.

MAP = Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor
Tells the ecu how much air pressure is in the intake manifold to determine how much load the engine is under(helps ecu determine A/F ratio combined with readings from other sensors, MAF, TPS, etc...).

That would be the MAP/BARO switch solenoid valve.

Just get any sort of vacuum line and tap it into any vacuum source. Doesnt matter where, just needs vacuum. The plug should be somewhere; if i remember, the pcm only uses the MAP as a reference/backup.

i dont see any connector....matter of fact i dont even see a map sensor on my car..... i know what the maf is i see that the intake snorkel was somewhat disconnected underneath...reconnected that, but i dont see no map sensor, and when i run a search for a 95 map sensor it comes back as 96-99....did they not use them in a 95?? or is google search just retarded? the only plugs i see is one directly on the side of the battery try, a 2 pin plug and then theres one near my front drivers corner assembly which has 3 pin connections...wtf are those lol...seems as if someone did something to this car they shouldnt have...
