Map sensor question
Sunday, May 21, 2006 3:00 PM
So every once in a while my check engine light comes and i then after a day or half a day it goes back off. So it was on while i was near an auto zone today and so i stopped in and had it diagnosed and they said it said one of the things was a problem with the map sensor. They said it came up as something about a misfire and also something about being lean. Does anyone know if i need to replace my map sensor or what? Thanks guys

Turbo??? Maybe you need to invest in an air/fuel ratio guage, if you don't already have one. Also, check your fuel pressure, vacuum lines, and intake/throttle body gaskets. Don't forget about your O2 sensor, TPS sensor, ect.

Also DO NOT clean the throttle body with any type of solvents!!! I know alot of people do, but the silicon membrane inside the sensor can be damaged by doing this. Some (mainly Chrysler), but not all manufacturers use a fuel vapor filter to prevent contamination and/or damage of the sensor. If you are running boost, and don't have a filter in place, chances are that fuel vapor may have contaminated the sensor. Regardless of wether this is your problem or not, I'd suggest putting a filter in between the MAP sensor and vacuum source.
