Default 2019 RX350 Map sensor location

Greetings everyone
2019 RX 350 for the life of me I can't seem to locate the MAP sensor. I see there is a replacement part for it but I don't see it on the car. I pretty versed on repairs but I just don't see it anywhere. Anyone got a clue where its hiding?? Thanks

My wife has my car but when she gets home I will try to locate the MAP sensor and take a pic.

Should be on the intake manifold or just behind the throttle body. If you have the actual part you hopefully can compare and locate.

Did you get a code and need to replace? Not sure that I have heard of a MAP sensor failing (I am sure that they do).

I will try to locate and send pic tonight or tomorrow when the car gets home.

I was wondering that.....

I know that we have a MAF sensor b/c I have serviced it.
I also believe that some cars (esp turbos may have both). Since he said that he had the part number, I assumed he had confirmed somewhere that the RX350 also has the MAP sensor.

I thought that cars generally had one or the other.

Default intially MAF not Map

Initially MAF but I see there is a MAP sensor that I would like to clean but I don't see one anywhere.. MAF on the airbox...MAP no where in sight. Funny thing is MAP replacement part is available for the car

Cleaning the MAP sensor is not really going to make a difference.

But if it does exists - it would be located on the intake manifold.

yeah, I have never heard of cleaning one. I think that the diaphragm is either intact or not.

I looked around the engine bay and saw no candidates for MAP sensor (unless it is one the backside if it exists).
