View Full Version : Identify this sensor, please take a look
First of all I appologize to the owner of this picture, but i couldn't find another one to show the sensor...
So, can you tell what this senzor is? Mine is a little damaged and is bond with duct tape to the pipe..
thanks
Missing something, I think :confused:
true, sorry

boosting issues
Fuelling issues, as this is the main load sensor.

Quick google gives you this :)
MAP SENSOR
Definition: Refers to a manifold absolute pressure sensor, a variable resistor used to monitor the difference in pressure between the intake manifold at outside atmosphere.
This information is used by the engine computer to monitor engine load (vacuum drops when the engine is under load or at wide open throttle). When the engine is under load, the computer may alter spark timing and the fuel mixture to improve performance and emissions.

Sting him for royalties :lol:
Does the MAP sensor monitor charge temp also?
can a flat spot at 4000 rpm could be caused by this MAP ?
at 4500 the car is unleashed :)

would need to either see the a vid of the car or a rr graph. Z20LET's naturally have a flat spot around that area anyway, a slight one. The turbo overboosts, the ecu slows it down so to speak then it goes again like a train like you said.
yes, it's a slight one...
