Your car should be running in limp mode.

MAP sensors can be found everywhere. I think i have about 5 floating around in my garage. Just go to a pick your part and pocket one.

code 3 means defective sensor or wiring problem.
if you know someone with an EG try swapping it with them to see if it fixes your problem. OR pick one up off luserkid or even ebay...
