Is this a map sensor?

[RocCitySlayer]

I think it is but im not to sure. It has a 3 wire plug with a red, white and black wire that was connected to it. If it is a map, how can i tell how many bars it is. There is no name on it, just C B A on the back where the harness plugs in

Yes, it's a MAP sensor but without a part number the only way I can think of to know which range, is to measure it's output under known conditions.

Sorry for grave digging my own thread, but I was wondering if I could use this map sensor to accurately measure my boost and log it in link and how I'd go about doing it.

What is the part number on it?

I have no clue , the previous owner was planning on going SD but never finished it. For some reason he apparently felt the need to spray paint the thing . I might be wrong but it kinda looks like a GM 3 bar map.

All the gm sensors look about the same.

Try getting a q-tip or cotton ball with a little bit of alcohol and rub it over where the part number would be, see if anything shows up.

Ill try to find the part number, Also if by chance it is a gm 3 bar, Can I use it to log actual boost? If so do you know of any links that show how to do it?

 

[donniekak]

Only way you are going to easily log that sensor is if you have link.

I have v3

Thanks man

So I took the map sensor out of the car today. It's hard to read the part number even with using rubbing alcohol due to being coated with rhino coat, but it looks like it might be 1009B06

I've searced 100 time and still can't figure out what this thing is. It looks identical to a gm map but the part numbers don't match up.

Wire it into link, choose one of the GM options, compare logged value to boost gauge. If they match, you figured out which one you have. If they don't match, try another sensor.

Ok cool thanks. Guess ill give it a try when i get the car back on the road. Hopefully this week . But there seems like theres a ton of issues that i need to fix and im notveven sure why. Car been down almost 2 years now and its been pissing me off.
