Eyes bleary from Search, did not find definite word either way. Is the special zip-tie for the MAP sensor available by itself and, if so, anyone know the part #?

Low-mileage late MY car, not sure if I even have this problem, so I really did not plan on replacing the sensor -- but a clean-up, WHACK and the special zip-tie; yeah, I could do that.

Local Honda dealer part-guy had no idea what I was talking about; but then, just walked in and asked for "the special zip-tie for the MAP sensor". Serves me right.

 

I believe its Honda zip tie #13 (possibly 14) if memory serves me right.

Clean it with mass airflow cleaner, the whack is unnecessary if u clean it.

 

Actually here you go:

That's the TSB for it since the service person will look at you like you have down syndrome

 

My old map sensor was a problem for me years ago at times. After the new part came out I decided I can do the same without buying it so I cleaned the contacts well and used a regular old zip tie to secure the connection tightly. No problems in many years since.

 

Thanks! E-mail sent to parts guy at dealer.

 

Never seen this before but I know for sure mine doesnt have the tie. 01 AP1 w/ 145K mi. Never a problem w/ the connector.

 

you can find any black zip tie at your local parts store that would work, zip tie it and trim the excess once tight. A thinner zip tie works a bit better than wider ones, but both would work. You don't have to over-do it on tightening, just snug is fine.
