ok i searched forever abotu this code and it seems no one else runs into this problem... its code 5 with a jdm ecu running a b18c1. Its "MAP Sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure) mechanical problem / disconnected piping ". How would i go about fixing this? Ive tried different MAP sensors but same thing. Any help would be appriciated.

 

no i dont... should i get one? would that fix the problem?

a code 5 is a vacume conection to map. i'd check you TB conection.

 

Code 5 - MAP Sensor

Usually means there is something wrong with the hose.
When the MAP voltage is too high (indicating vacuum is lower then normal) the problem is rarely a faulty sensor, but in fact a problem with the engine itself

* incorrect cam timming
* incorrect iginition timming
* restricted exhaust
* excessively worn engine or leacking valves

 

cool that helped out alot. but i got the code before even turning on the car... and the timing was TDC... by the way it has skunk2 IM with a b16 TB.. where should the vacuum line by at...

 

ok turned it on finally... now i was looking at the map sensor and the jackass who had the car before me just twisted and taped the the 3 wires together... now should they be soldered?
