No, only the MAP sensor. If you've tried a known good sensor, it's either the wiring or the ECU.

Code for MAP sensor doesn't always mean the MAP sensor itself is defective. Check the wires for short.

hmm... we swapped the head, but used the same intakem anifold and now its all fkd up...


how can we dianose this


It had a VAFC, then it was removed and ive checked the "pressure" signal over and over again.. and the connection is GREAT with a thicker gauge wire as a extenstion

the map hooks up to a line that hooks up to the little NIPPLE on teh intakke manfild.. does it matter where on the im?

If it had a v-afc in it before and you pulled it out that is your problem. Follow the old vafc harness to the ecu harness. You have to splice the map wires back together.

its either d17 white /blue or d21 blue/white they spliced

hope this helps

make sure you plug the right harness to it, cuz the map and tps sensor has the same plugs, sometimes people put the wrong plugs and the wrong places

hmm... u think colors would matter? of the wires.
how can i tell the tps from map anwyays?


would i get a tps cel if the tps was not plugged in?

also, when we unplug the map compeltely, the car rpms fall, so u thiik it STILL has to do with wiring?
