What's up,
Well I figured out how to take the stupid kick panel off and was able to get a code via "blinking lights". I got a code 5 error showing that my MAP sensor wasn't working properly so i decided to fix it myself. One problem though... I can't find it on my DX engine! I've seen many many pictures of the MAP sensor on B16A's but none on my engine.
Another problem might be that I still have my stock air box... could this be blocking me from seeing it? I've been told it's on the passenger side of my car and is actually attached to the air box, but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Lastly, when I finally do find it, is it hard to replace? It's just plug and play with the two screws that hold it on right? Also where could I buy a new one? I've been told that honda doesn't sell MAP sensors seperately... you have to buy the whole throttle body! I've searched the internet for them, but I can only find used ones on ebay.
Alright thanks for taking the time to read this, and thanks again if you can provide any info!

Hope this isnt a double post.(damn road runner was trippin) Anyways not sure where you MAP sensor is Located but on my 95 SI it sits right on top of the Intake Manifold where the TB connects. I'm not toally sure but you might have 2. Also try the Honda Acura parts junk yard down south. They were selling mine for like $40 or even Pacific Auto Wrecking they wanted $35. It;s just at the opposite end of H and A. Not totally sure but I was told even if you replace the MAP sensor you have to clear the code to get rid of the "check engine" light. I dont know if that's the same as diconnecting the battery, pull the fuse, and or unplug/plug the ecu. Hope this helps.

Should be on, or under your TB

What's up,
Thanks for all the help! I've come to the conclusion that the TB is hidden under the stock air box so I"ll have to remove it tommorow and take a look! It also turns out that code 5 isn't a defective sensor... it's either a mechanical problem or a disconnected hose so hopefully all I have to do is jam it in tighter or replace the hose.
