3 bar GM map sensor trouble
ok so I turn the car on and it idles very low like 400 and if i give it throttle it doesnt respond well and then stalls. could it be that my map sensor is just bad? any way to test it.

Re: 3 bar GM map sensor trouble (non-VTEC)
Yes his KPro is properly setup for his three bar I would hope so being the boost gauge usually says 20 PSI at WOT
Alberto, like I said on the phone I am 99% sure it's the map sensor.

+1 check the sensor voltage.

Re: 3 bar GM map sensor trouble (jsimon9633)
Take it up near WOT (low vacuum/boost) and it should run fine. The problem with the 3-bar, which is plauging uberdata users mostly, is that the GM bar sensor's real reading in high-vacuum are totally off (non-linear) compaired to the datasheet. IIRC, -22 in/Hg is read/output as -27 in/Hg. I bet if you stuck a wideband in and tested it, it'd idle very rich. Rich + added throttle = more gas injected, resulting in stalling/hesitation.
And FYI, the only GM 3-bar sensor that won't function like this...is a fualty one.
edit - and before I forget, the GM 3-bar also tends to give strange readings above 22psi according to most users.
