Hi,
I am working on my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. 360 c i. I bought this truck last April and have always gotten terrible mileage. I bought a can of Mass Air Flow cleaner however there are 2 sensors on the throttle body, front and rear. I am not sure where the Mass Air Flow is located on this engine and can not find one online to match it up to. Can you help?
Thanks,

Ron

Your engine does not have a MAF sensor, it has a MAP sensor which is a manifold absolute pressure sensor.

I am attaching the info below on this but if your mileage is dropping then this would be a good place to start.

I would replace the MAP and then check the fuel pressure and make sure it is correct. Here is a guide that will help with this:

Please see the info below and let us know what questions you have.
