Do you want to remove the MAP sensor to check and examine it OR do you just want to check vacuum???? You can check vacuum in a couple different locations.

Well bill...... I thru some codes for the map sensor and wanted to try to check it before removing the manifold, but cant get to the map very easy. YOu may remember my first post regarding my problems.....

Oh I did check the wires in the doors.... looked fine.

Looks like your either inspecting the MAP with a mirror or pulling the intake!

Notes
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor responds to pressure changes in the intake manifold. The pressure changes occur based on the engine load. The MAP sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The powertrain control module (PCM) supplies 5 volts to the MAP sensor on the 5-volt reference circuit. The PCM also provides a ground on the low reference circuit. The MAP sensor provides a signal to the PCM on the signal circuit which is relative to the pressure changes in the manifold. The PCM should detect a low signal voltage at a low MAP, such as during an idle or a deceleration. The PCM should detect a high signal voltage at a high MAP, such as that the ignition is ON, with the engine OFF, or at a wide-open throttle (WOT). Certain vehicle models will also use the MAP sensor in order to determine the barometric pressure (BARO). This occurs when the ignition switch is turned ON, with the engine OFF. The BARO reading may also be updated whenever the engine is operated at WOT. The PCM monitors the MAP sensor signal for voltage outside the normal range. The PCM calculates a predicted value for the MAP sensor based on the throttle position and the engine speed. The PCM then compares the predicted value to the actual MAP sensor signal. DTC P0106 will set if the MAP sensor signal is not within the predicted range.
CONDITIONS FOR RUNNING THE DTC
The engine is running
The engine speed is between 400-5,000 RPM
The change in the engine speed is less than 125 RPM
DTC P0101-P0103, P0107, P0108, P0440, P0442, P0443, P0446, P1120, P1125, P1220, P1221, P1275, P1276, P1280, P1281, P1285, P1286, P1514, P1515, P1516, P1517, or P1518 are not set.
The traction control is not active.
The A/C compressor clutch is steady.
The power steering is stable.
The clutch switch state does not change.
The brake switch state does not change.
All conditions are stable for 1 second .
CONDITIONS FOR SETTING THE DTC
The actual MAP sensor signal is not within the predicted range for 2 seconds .
ACTION TAKEN WHEN THE DTC SETS
The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
CONDITIONS FOR CLEARING THE MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
Inspect for the following conditions:
Restrictions in the MAP sensor vacuum source.
The MAP sensor seal is missing or damaged.
Vacuum hoses that are disconnected, damaged, or incorrectly routed.
Intake manifold vacuum leaks
Vacuum leaks at the throttle body
If an intermittent exists, refer to Intermittent Conditions. See: Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures\Intermittent Conditions
TEST DESCRIPTION
Steps 1-8
(sorry the charts will not paste)
Steps 9-20
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
This step tests the MAP sensors ability to correctly indicate the barometric pressure. The value shown for the MAP sensor varies with altitude. 103 kPa is the approximate barometric pressure (BARO) displayed at or near sea level.
This step tests the MAP sensors ability to respond to an increase in engine vacuum.
This step tests for a proper MAP sensor kPa with an applied vacuum."
