It looks like, from Ford's info, that it is behind the passenger side headlamp or just toward the right of the passenger headlamp. If you look behind the grill, about the area between the radiator and the airbox, it should be in there somewhere.

#44 of 4967 What can keep engine seals from failing? by sixsigmaman Jan 02, 2004 (5:33 pm)
Replying to: vidtech (Jan 03, 2004 3:44 pm) My '89 Toyota truck (105K miles) and '93 Ford van(75K miles) currently suffer from leaky seals. Although I tried to change oil regularly and do other routine maintenance, I wonder what, if anything, can be done to prevent such problems on my newer vehicles. Searching the archives makes it looks like leaky seals are not so unusual, but they sure cost a lot of $$ to fix. Any hints out there to extend seal life? Thanks.

Replying to: vidtech (Jan 03, 2004 3:44 pm) unfortunately there is not much anyone can do to extend seal life.old age causes the materials to dry out and harden or the seal just wears out.frequently, cars in storage will have seal problems too.on newer engines seals fail due to improper installation or poor design.

#47 of 4967 smog test by nismatic Jan 03, 2004 (9:53 pm)
Replying to: vidtech (Jan 03, 2004 6:13 am) my girl's car continues to abort the smog check test. It is a 1991 Toyota Celica. It is unable to maintain a steady speed in order complete the test. (the smog test requires a steady speed at 15mph and another fixed point). The speed keeps dropping and rising. could it be something with the airflow sensors or something like that? didnt know where else to put this, couldnt find anything in the search. thanks!

This could be related to a lot of things. A bad injector comes to mind (poor spray pattern) and also a vacuum leak such as from the intake manifold. Sounds like the air/fuel mixture is changing, so either air is coming and going (vacuum leak) or fuel is coming and going (injector). But a bad plug wire is also possible. Maybe a good tune up will cure it, and testing for a vacuum leak isn't that hard.
