my map sensor is fucked up

[remember42]

does that make my engine bog out any?? lose any power??anything???:hi:

ya, your map sensor tells your ecu how much fuel to add to the mixture of air through pressure in the manifold. bad map = bad fuel mixture = bad motor performance

[remember42]

thats what i thought but to replace the map sensor u got to replace the whole friggin throttle body

no you dont!! it just unscrews

[noVtecHERE]

ur looking at the tps, and also, it is the map that sees the air to come in and what fuel to add, the TPS tell the car how much fuel to add by tip in... so u need both, i am running without a TPS right now (Well wheni had my car) and it would run lean, which u lose power from also, all in all, it takes both to work right...

but ecu throws a code for the map. so make sure before you go spend 250 on a map that its the problem.

start at the source...make sure that its getting fuel pressure at the filter. then after the fuel rail.

without tps even possible

well im just gonna go get a diagnostics test and that will tell me EVERYTHING that is wrong wit it i can get a free test from my brother

Lol, it's OBD0 dude.

[die in a dick fire noob]

haha.

[remember42]

what does that mean?? they can still do the test....

[Type - O]

no. OBD stands for on board diagnostics. since its OBD-0 it has no on board diagnostics ability, so in short no they cant. just look at your ecu and see whats codes it throwing

[noVtecHERE]

i can imagine someone going hey... it didnt throw anything..! WTF!? lol...

[Type - O]

lol, look at your ECU for that crap BTW!

[remember42]

lol, look at your ECU for that crap BTW!

seven short pause then seven more short then one long one.....

ok, if im understanding that right. it would be a 7 and a 17 right?

if thats it....then its the TPS(throttle position sensor) and vehicle speed sensor.

does your speedometer cut out sometimes?

doesn't work at all but i think that is becuz its not plugged in its broken and thats what i thought it was the tps that is...

then fix the TPS and ur speedo even tho it is throwing a code wont affect anything except for Vtec turning on if u have it, if not it isnt as big of a deal as the tsp./..

Map sensor basically measures load through speed/density. Not airflow, that would be a mass air flow. Did you check out the vacuum line to the map or is it the style that mounts directly on the throttle body?

[justanls]

go get a tps, make sure your speedo is plugged in. that should fix it.

it pluggs into the throttle body
