I just finished putting my eg back together, i changed the main harness and threw a y8 in. I'm throwing a code 3 MAP sensor with a p28 and a p75, and ive changed the map twice now, it wont go away, WTF anyone have some ideas?

did you check any of the wiring?
the code doesnt necessarilly mean the sensor or the ecu is bad.

i love when people napalm cars or just throw darts, and w/o even looking at a svc manual ask for help.

Silly idea I know, but have you tried swapping the MAP and TPS plugs - they are the same and are easily mistakenly swapped when doing that swap.

Usually a MAP and TPS code will be thrown if this is the case, but usually MAP comes on immediately.

Why the jab there?

For some people it's actually quicker/easier to swap such parts rather than tediously check wire-by-wire. If I've got a few extra sensors and ECUs lying around you can bet your *** I'll try those first - in this case the parts take literally 5 minutes to swap out.

I don't normally take that approach with everything, but if I were this guy I'd have done the same if I hadnthe extra parts. I wouldn't go to Honda and buy such parts without busting out a multi meter and checking wiring first, but spare parts can be a great diagnostic tool if you already have them.

i didnt try that but i have done that before and the car wouldnt start, i believe the map wiring extends farther than the tps from the harness?

thanks damn right ill swap out parts before i go and buy new parts...thats a possible waste of money that i cant afford

do you think its possible that something is wrong with the tb itself?

Well I've seen them crank and run (like ****) with the plugs swapped. I mean technically one loom should be longer than the other, but the plugs are easily swapped still.

It was just an idea based on starting with the cheapest/simplest thing first, then working your way up.

i guess i should break out some a chiltons and an ohm meter?

No.

Break out a Helm manual and an ohm meter.



I don't trust Haynes/Chilton as far as I can throw them. Helm makes the Honda manuals and have specific flow charts for each code.

you are right, i am having a bad day, no good work again, no power in my house since 5 yesterday my freezer is now completely thawed out,

but after 2 ecu's and 3 maps, unless they are all bad, you need to start looking elsewhere.

to the o.p. i am sorry for flying off like that i am not usually like that. i have not had my happy pill yet today he hee.
