Question 1

Buying & Fitting Guide

Accepted Answer

In modern engines, the engine control module (ECM) measures or calculates air flow via either a mass air flow (MAF) or manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. The ECM uses MAP sensor data to run crucial calculations, such as engine load, fuel injector pulse, and spark advance in order to maintain healthy function of the engine. Some important information for selecting the correct MAP sensor is the type of sensor needed; number of poles, pressure rating, voltage and date limitation of the unit. As car manufacturers regularly update certain peripherals and design of their models, some sensors will only be suitable for particular models of certain years.

Question 3

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

MAP sensors fail by getting clogged, contaminated, or damaged. Sometimes, engine heat “overcooks” the MAP sensor's electronics or cracks vacuum lines. If the MAP sensor goes bad, the ECM can’t accurately calculate engine load, which means the air-fuel ratio will become either too rich (more fuel) or too lean (less fuel). Here are the key problems to look out for: Poor fuel economy, lack of power, failed emission inspection, rough idle and hard starting. The MAP sensor is a relatively manageable DIY job however, depending on the fitment position of the sensor in your vehicle, some other engine components may need to be removed to gain access. If you are unsure about carrying out a MAP sensor replacement, consult a certified mechanic to avoid further damage.
