see picture for location. you might also check to see if screen is clogged. if it is use choke cleaner or throttle body cleaner to clean it out as that is the problem sometimes.

So it is the one in the back correct? Because Autozone said that my engine only has one.

I assumed you meant the cam one, but the one on transmission is in picture which is for transmission not engine. what was the code that you got? Also, just because Autozone checked it does not mean that is the problem. It may be something else.

then it is the first one I sent it is because this is a dual overhead cam engine. If you mean the back of engine closest to the firewall then it is what is called 1/2 same as in picture I sent first time, but it can be also other things like in this picture.
