Where is the FPR located on a 1994 Explorer?

I have been trying to track down the cause of codes 172, 176 on my Ex for 4 years.

From the search function I have learned that it could be a bad FPR. I would like to look for gas in the FPR vacuum line but dont know where to look.

Your expert advice is greatly appreciated! TYVM

Ok, Ok, I found it! Sure enough the vacuum line was off.

heheh was just gonna put a picture up to show u were fpr is ive had that line come off on me also took some light gauge wire an tied it so it will not come off agian an a piece of bright tape so i can see the end of it better

LOL.

I now have it tie strapped! Each end, 1 at the vacuum tree and a pair at the FPR (Each side of the rubber grommet on FPR). I think all that ATF from the former bad tranny modulator causes them to get loose.
