You should be able to reverse engineer it's location by following the tube from your intake back to the block. It is even possible that it is incorporated right into one of the caps on a valve cover. On fuel injected cars sometimes it right underneath the fuel rail...
They are very cheap (under ten bucks) and usually very easy to replace.
