Please show me how you have your Motorola 2.5 BAR MAP sensor mounted.

Currently I have it mounted near the firewall with a line going to it, but thats not working out. Please, please, please show me how you have it mounted.

Thanks

I made a short pigtain and soldered the wires to an ORM MAP sensor that I cut up. This allows full plug and play. Icoated all of the solder joints in Hondabond to prevent corrosion.

you can pretty much put it anywhere... get creative. ive seen them in the fuse box, in-cab under dash, wrapped up in a ball of electrical tape... like i said, get creative.

Re: (discrete)
I used a method that Blundar told me to do.. got a molex connector (yes.. computer power connector) and got some smaller wire and carefuelly soldered and heatshrinked each soldered connection. I have the smaller wire connected to the pins (extra 3pins were snipped off) then the other end of the smaller wire to the wires going into the molex connector. This way with the molex connector, if for some reason I had to switch back to stock MAP sensor, all I have to do is unplug the Motorola and plug in the stock plug.

Just take your time and don't overheat the sensor.

P.S.: Tin the wire before you solder onto the sensor.
