It's on top of the throttle body, if you are using the OEM tb.

haha i guess i didnt ask the question right.i know where my map sensor is but i cant find the thing to get to plug into my map sensor

Easiest thing to do is find your TPS plug and follow the harness, the MAP sensor plug is attached to the harness very close to the TPS plug. Alot of people switch these around by accident.

Remember the MAP sensor wires are White, Grn/White, and Red/Yellow colors, so you don't end up plugging that plug into you TPS sensor and the car runs like crap.

ok yeah that sucks.so the map is connected with the tps then?

If they are mixed up, yes the car will run like crap, just check the wire colors, if the above wire colors are pluged into the TPS sensor, switch it to the map sensor. The TPS sensor will be right by the MAP sensor plug.

yeah i hate buying a car that has a swap in it.because the kid busted the tps completely off and my temp sensor was half off and just all this other crap its like buying some one Else's problems.but yesterday i went to start my car and it was not starting it was just turning over??this happend when my buddy put in my tranny and befor he did it started up like a new car.but after he did the swap it would start but it was low rpm then just die.any ways hey dephtone this is off topic but i need to find a harness bar so i can put my harness onto it because right now its on my hatch struts for the back hatch and i know that's not safe.

At that point, that is why if you don't know much about the car or the make in general, take someone with you that does and thoroughly look over the car, hell when I go look at a car, I still bring a buddy with me just so I have 2 sets of eyes incase I miss something.

Are you throwing any codes? Are you getting spark, fuel etc?

You have your seatbelt harness attached to your stuts for the hatch?

If I were you just pull up the backseat and bolt the harnesses to the spot where your back seat belts are bolted in, that's where mine are located at and haven't had any signs of it moving or anything.

ahh good idea i have the 91 crx si.so i guess i could pull the piece that you store crap in.but this is the thing i dont get.when i start my car i have the check engine off but after a few minnuts even half a hr it will come on.and its my stupid map haha.so i guess i should look for the map eh?well im going to probley go to a pull apart and find where every thing is located

dephtone

I would see if you can borrow one also check to make sure the wires don't have any splits in them.

Did you check to see what color the wires were that were plugged into the map? Are they the colors I mentioned above?

attica

yeah i know the tps is red..or im my case orange haha and green with white stripes

dephtone

The TPS plug should be grn/white red/blue yellow/white.

The MAP sensor is Yellow/Red Grn/White and White.

attica

my tps has only 2 wires
