I'm pretty sure its on the passenger side near the fire wall, past the oil dipstick. Not 100% on this and my eagle is about 2 hours away at a buddies shop so I can't really go verify.

If it's the 6 cyl. taco is correct. It's on pass side close to the fire wall and down low . Hard to see. Pulled mine and painted it a bright safety yellow.

Maybe crawl under the car and follow it up from the bottom.
