Default Engine Code 3

Engine code 3: Manifold Absolute Pressure Signal (high/low signal). What do I do about that? I spun out onto dirt/grass at about 60 mph... car stalled and when I started it up it gave me check engine light. I did about 200 miles so far with the light on and nothing bad has happened.

Here's another thing...

Ok so as I was checking the engine code, I noticed the ATTS light flashing. It was flashing slow and fast, like how the check engine light gives off MIL codes. After watching it for a while I got 72, 42, 72, 42 (yes, twice in a row), 41, 43, 32. Then it repeat. It went through that pattern 3 times before I gave up... is the ATTS light supposed to do that, or does it give off its own codes?

the map sensor code is just telling you that the signal is out of range, high or low. iether the sensor is faulty or the wiring to it is. i have no idea about the atts light.

When you throw a CEL, it cuts the communication from the ECU to the ATTS Computer, thus throwing a ATTS light as well.

Fix the check engine light and the atts light will go out.

At this point if your ABS light is not staying on then i wouldn't worry about it but for the engine code I would reset the ECU and see if the code comes back on them you know there is a problem. To do this you can take out the ECU fuse or just remove the (-)Battery cable for about 2mins.

you remove the clock/radio fuse from the engine bay fuse box, you will lose your station presets.

If you dissconnect the battery, you will lose your station presets. pick one

I suggest you replace the sensor with a known good or just replace the whole TB. If that doesnt fix your problem you have a short somewhere in the MAP wire.
