Chrysler Repair: 1996 Town and Country - Code 61, code 61, acceptable value

Question
My newly purchased used Town and Country almost immediately started stalling when the van was warmed up. It happens when starting to accelerate from a stop sign and when accelerating after slowly turning a corner. Occasionally the "Check Engine Light" comes on but it goes off as well.
I did the key-on, key-off, key-on, key-off, key-on sequence and got the 12-61-55 codes indicating an error 61. I see that means "Code 61 -Barometric pressure out of range (Key-On)-MAP sensor has a baro reading below an acceptable value."
My questions are this:
Is it the MAP sensor that needs replacing or is there a separate Baro sensor inline to the MAP sensor?
Also, in a 1996 where would I find the Baro Sensor/MAP Sensor? Is there a picture of it somewhere and is it reasonable to think that someone that is fairly mechanically inclined could replace it? I took auto shop years ago...
Thanks a lot. Your articles are very helpful.

Hi Steph,
The problem is either the MAP or its wiring may be damaged. It is located (3.3/3.8L) screwed into the side of the intake manifold, just below the PCV valve (and inline with the to the top of the "3.3" lettering). It has a three wire connector (violet/white, dark green/blue, black/light blue). So look over the wires from the sensor to the harness for signs of insulation melting and if none replace the sensor. The MAP is a BARO sensor so it is one and the same. Easy to replace once you locate it.
