My car for the past couple months has been idling a little rough, and when you down shift and almost come to a stop it would hesitate. All signs that I had a Map Sensor problem. I tried all the fixes post on this site to no avail. So, I ordered the sensor from Jeff (Hardtopguy) on Monday and it arrived yesterday. Now thats what I call service. I installed it last night, and all I can say is WOW! The idle smoothed right out and no more down shift issues. It also seemed like I recaptured some acceleration. It could just be my butt dyno making me think that.

So, if any of you are having simular symptoms it's the best $45 I've spent. It also came with a new fastener that zip ties the wiring harness to the sensor. I guess according to Jeff there was a TSB because the harness was coming loose from the sensor.

 

So when are you changing your name to MAS2KNut?

 

Hmm, I've got the mild "engine shake" on approaching (passing) idle at a stop occasionally. I haven't whacked the MAP yet, but I'm considering it. But you said it didn't help you out at all?

 

Yes, in my case it didn't make it any better. I also tried cleaning out the throttle body and that didn't work either.

However, now it's like a new car!

 

I was thinking about it and Glenn offered to have it changed, but I think I'm going to keep it for now.

 

 

I noticed on mine that sometimes when I come to a complete stop, the RPM's drop and it has a little shake, then goes buck up to 1000 rpm, would that be the case as well?

 

Yep, I would change the map sensor. That was another problem I had also, not anymore!

 

Thanks, will stop by the dealership today, is it hard to replace it?

 

Don't let the dealership charge you to install it. It's 5 minutes and a philips head screw driver. My niece could do it. She is 2 1/2 yrs old.
