Default Map sensor gone bad?

So the other day i was driving and my car started missing and dumping alot of fuel. It did it two times before finally taking a dump..i was wondering everyones opinions on what they think is the problem. I hear map sensor alot bc it sounds like its running on 2 cylinders and theres a strong smell of fuel. Anyone know where to get a plug and play 2.5bar map sensor if this is the case?

A little bit more info on your setup would help. More infor in regards to the managment system... obd1? what are u tuned with? closed loop or open loop? Any codes?

Fuel is most influenced by the map sesnor, but map sensors rarely fail so i wouldn't assume that right off the bat.

When the map takes a dump..it will act as if no vacuum is hooked up to it. It will run super rich...foul plugs; Idle like ****, almost dieing, etc
