For the last year or so I have had poor running problems with my S2. Basically it was lousy in stop/start traffic and pulling out of junctions. I'd read the FAQ and all the threads and tried allsorts.

I've tried different intakes to see if it was heatsoak,the MAP whack, a new O ring on the map sensor, allsorts of stuff.

I ordered some new coil packs recently and while I was on Rock Auto's website I thought I may as well spend £30 in a new MAP sensor.

I fitted it this morning before work and it's cured the problem!

I can now do the whole stop/start thing without kangarooing down the road like a learner driver.

Bloody brilliant!

I have been having this issue recently too, is the MAP sensor easy to replace for a novice or is it better left for the garage/next service? Cheers

As long as you dont round the threads taking the sensor off its very easy.

@Gary Are they OEM parts or spurious?

GaryB

They didn't do a denso part but listed 5 or 6 manufacturers. I picked the mid priced option.

2 screws and a connector plug and it's on the TB right at the top of the engine.

Did mine this morning in 2 mins while wearing a suit.

Glad you are sorted mate

I have sent you a PM on a totally different subject

Can tell you're a contractor PM - so much money that you can use normal suits as boiler suits!
Not like the rest of us company-owned PM's!!!

Where did you buy replacement map sensor from ?

Hey Gary, which was the O2 sensor you changed this weekend? Would you be able to post a link to where you bought it from?
