Thank you in advance.
Remove the intake manifold and it's straightforward from there.

There's going to be a stout little metal tab that you need to slightly bend. You push the top of the metal tab towards the back of the car. You might be able to do this with your thumb, but if you're careful, you can use a tool of some sort. Moving the tab over slightly will allow you pull the MAP sensor straight up to remove it. Once you get the new one in, just bend the tab back towards the front of the car.

I don't have the AIR system on my car. Maybe that makes it easier to access the MAP sensor; I dunno. I can have my map sensor out in less than 5 minutes. It is not necessary to pull the intake on my car. But if you're not in a hurry, the intake isn't that hard to pull.
