What do I do if I get 3 MAP - manifold absolute pressure sensor , it blinks 3 times stops and repeats. I chked my sensors it seems good?ANything I should do>?

 

how did you check the sensor?

 

Are u using a missing link?

 

No missing link, didnt really chk the sensors, anything to do with the vafc pressure wire?? I found out that the guy who hooked up my vafc didnt have the pressure wire connected so I connected it(that was a while ago)

 

so ur running a turbo with out a missing link?

 

Turbos not on right now, got another engine being built in cali, I dont plan on running a missing link when the turbo goes bak in. Just vafc, pump, injectors??
Now its stock with i/h/e, msds

 

have you reset the ecu since you hooked up the vafc right?

 

no how do i do it, sinch I hooked up the pressure wire I had not reset anything

 

u do it with the vtec controller.. ur manual should tell u

 

you can either a: - unhook your battery for a while(ive heard 5-10 mins) or b: the right way per helms take out the 7.5 fuse in the under the hood for 10-15 sec. - number 32 - if you still have the fuse placement sticker on your cover - the radio should turn off as well if you pull the right one - just make sure if you still have the stock radio that you have the code

oh my bad im thinking he needs to reset the vafc.. aka initilize it

 

Well I reset the ecu and still throws code, and today when I red lined 1st and went to redline 2nd the chk engine light came on and I lost throttle response. Any ideas on what I should change?

 

Start by borrowing a map sensor from a friend to see if thats the problem.

 

I have this same problem. I even replaced the map sensor and it still does it. Runs real rich. Still looking into this myself. ;_;

Ok , my problem seems to come on intermitent cause it only comes on when you drive the car for a while then when it comes on the car get sluggish. Helms manual says interminent problem chk wiring, well I resoldered everyting so I skip that part and check the voltages instead. Yellow/White & Chassis Ground-5 Volts
Yellow/White & Grn/White-4.98 Volts, White/Yello & Grn/White-.049 Volts
Any ideas what to do, should I just change the map sensor? This has been a problem since I got the car

 

Just bought a 2000 civic map sensor the local shop charged me 40.00 I gotta c if it works. It works alright no more codes yeeeeha

It would be a wise investment to get a missing link also(probably the easiest way and it's reliable). Running check valves to your map sensor won't stop it from blowing the diaphragm out or getting whach readings.

 

**** me not, I got a code 3 again today It ran good the last time, I took it for some good test runs on the mountain. But today I went back up there and did a wot vafc at 69%throttle and the engine just bogged all of a sudden and you can smell the exhaust change also.
I already changed the sensors, does the sensor wires go straight to the ecu? Meaning that I could possibly run new wires straight to the ecu and see what happens.

 

 

Arrghh, someone mentioned that I should take out my vafc?
