My CEL was on . . . throwing "BARO SENSOR" code? Anybody know what the baro sensor is?

 

barometric pressure sensor.

Reset your ECU. Pull the negative on the battery for about 3 mins, reconnect and let it come to full operating temp. The only thing it shows to trouble shoot this problem is the ECU. so reset.

 

Correct and it's used by the MAP sensor to work out fuel / air mix, got this off Google.

The pressure exerted by the weight of the earth's atmosphere, equal to one bar, 100 kilopascals, or 14.7 psi (often rounded off to 15 psi) at sea level. Barometric pressure changes with the weather and with altitude. Since it affects the density of the air entering the engine and ultimately the air/fuel ratio, some computerized emissions control systems use a barometric pressure sensor so that the spark advance and EGR flow can be regulated to control emissions more precisely.

 

I have reset the computer and it just keeps coming back . . . Anybody know if this sensor was bad, would it cause my car to bog when i give it steady gas?

 

I would think so, as that sensor is partly responsible for the air/fuel ratio at any given revs.
