Is this 3 bar MAP sensor?
 
I bought this MAP sensor from Ebay for $20 shipped. I gave him the 3 bar part # and he claims to have it. I got it in the mail today. Here is the #s stamped on this MAP sensor 460-8040 and the female plug is green. What y'all think? I think i got screw. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

You got me. Mine is a male plug but can't you just splice the wires together? Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Well since you are going to have to wire the pigtail for it in anyway, I would say the easiest way to tell is to wire it up, plug it in and then use a regulated pressure source with a gauge and monitor the voltage out from the sensor as you turn the pressure up. When you get to around 5 volts the map sensor should be at the top of its range. Read the gauge and it will tell you the max you can boost to and still have real map readings.

Thanks for that info, I didn't want to say something that might have been wrong.

I bought 2 from the same fuckin guy, I'm pretty sure that he's screwing people. I haven't tested mine yet tho.

Now that will teach us for buying cheap shit https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emhammer.gif I will test it this weekend though.
