1 out of like a dozen times I've seen this I've limped to my shop, took the MAP sensor out, and just blasted it with compressed air. Seemed to work good.

I was wearing my work boots and I couldn't find my small mallet, so I couldn't hit it with the heel of my DC shoes which I normally wear. Something about hitting my MAP sensor with hard objects just doesn't intrigue me.

I can tell you though, this has only happened to me AFTER a rain storm of some sort. I haven't been proactive enough to take temps etc., but that's what I can tie it into. My S doesn't see rain either, so it can't be water.

 

I know this is an old post, but I'm very insterested on the updated MAP sensor honda was suppose to come up with, any updates on that?

 

Anyone try "tining" the conncetions of the map sensor with a soldering iron? (Yes, with the right tools it can be done without damaging anything)

If your connection is intermittant, tinning and a bit of dielectric grease should solve the problem. As for what goes on internally... Other then possible heavy fouling of the chip inside, I can see no reason to why this is failing. (No moving parts)

BTW: I do Electronic Calibration (PMEL) and Solder repair for a living.

 

Updated map sensor part number 06176-PCX-000

This part number is made up of the old crappy sensor, BUT...it comes with a very high tech zip tie

 

In other words, there is no new "updated" MAP sensor. Honda only takes the opportunity to give you a new one as a service.

Now, now, Bill, we cannot underestimate the amount of research and development that had to have gone into the advent of this zip tie.

 

aaahhh the great and mighty 90hp (j/K) MAP Whack!

 

I'm wondering if the map whack is actually causing a better connection, or an internal matter. Once a map starts to act up, it can always act up in the future. Honda's idea was to install a new sensor (same as old one) and lock the connection from the first day of the sensor's use. Therefore a loose connection could not skew the sensor. I'll be doing mine and another next week, I'll post up should the fix still give issues.

 

this is a thread that we cant let it die. Has anyone fixed their problems with the new map sensor honda came up with? What is the problem, the connection or the map sensor inside?

 

Tinning the connections isn't the way to go here. Once you've cleaned the connections, the dielectric grease will prevent any further oxidation or ingress of moisture. Regardless, that's not the issue with the MAP sensor... it's internal.

 

it was raining today and i was going from red light to red light in traffic, the car started to hold back, i had to give it more fuel to go and it also back fired a couple of times, not that loud, but it did.

Is this the map sensor? I only have 26 000 m in the clock.
