i was looking and doing some minor tuning and i heard some tapping.. never noticed it before and made my way up to this sensor, where i heard it tapping and clicking.. unplugged it and the noise stopped,,.. so its the map?

what you think? this ok? or time to drop 175+ and get a new one?

never heard of it doing that, but if you unplgged it and it stopped, then i'd say thats the culprite. However you dont need to spend $175+ on a new one. I actually have an extra one sitting here if you wanted to buy it for me. If your interested, just PM me or Instant message me at SPOOLNG2. godd luck otherwise

No, there's no moveing parts in a MAP sensor. If you unplug the MAP sensor the engine will stall. (Or come close to it.) Are you sure it's not the IAC valve?

hmm it says like Denso on it.. i can pull off some numbers if needed, it connects by a 3 way t with a few other parts .. might is above the intake arm?

its closed looped, cause i guess somebody wanted to eliminate it, one of the ends is supposed to go to the evap canister and the other to the im. you can just take it out

any benifits to why you would bypass the canister? would all byproducts run straight to the manifold then?

it would only be good for me to bypass only cause it would free up some room and i can knock otu other problems.. or hose realted issues i think..

 

horsepower wise its not going to do anything, since the evap dont work at wot.
taking it out will save space and weight. once you take the evap canister out you can route the hose that comes from the gas tank to outside of the car or under, so the gas tank fumes dont go inside the engine bay
