MAP is on top of the intake, towards the rear.

Knock sensors are under the intake but the connector is just to the driver side of the MAP sensor on the intake.

Coolant temp is in the front of the driver side cylinder head.

Oil pressure is right next to the Cam sensor.

The cylinder sticking out of the intake right in back of the throttle body is the EVAP purge solenoid.

TPS and IAC are on the throttle body. IAC on top.

MAF and IAT are combined in the MAF.

Alternator connector is right on top.

Then you got coils and injectors

Thanks ryan thats what I was looking for. One question the MAF sensor, I did not get the air tube with the motor and that is where that is located correct?

This is going in a jeep so I will be turning the intake backwards and need to make sure I account for the MAF

I'm confused #3 is listed as PCV valve. I thought that little piece at the passenger side of the the throttle body was the PCV or are there more than one PCV valve?

Pretty sure that's just coolant recirculation.

One thing I didn't see was cam position, crank position and oil pressure sensors?

#3 is the PCV...the tube you are refering to is a breather/vent tube on the passenger side.
