Mine (a 92) is on the passenger side of the distributor with a solenoid
attached to it. It should have a sticker with a number on it. (You will need
this number when getting a new one)These are only good for 60k to 80k and
they get carbon fouled causing the pintle to stick.The symptom will be a
start but it wiil not hold an idle.Tap on it with a hammer to break the
pintle loose and it should idle on the next try.Don't try to clean it yor
wasting your time.
Hope this helps Steve
