Map Sensor...Not needed.

Looks like a MAP sensor relocation ghetto style.

so i can disconnect it? and plug that vacuum line?

i thought the MAP sensor was needed?

MAP sensor on the 2G is used as a back-up incase the MAF goes bad. It will go into limp-mode, but will be able to get you home. I would just leave it, as unplugging it would probally throw a code (CEL) on the OBD-II systems.

So when is DSM link going to be made with a speed/density option?

 

[CanadianTSi]

It will throw a CEL but it affects nothing.

Just a question... The 1g's dont have a map right? Also on the 2g logger can you see boost in your logs?

i have a 6 bolt in a 2g with 2g ecu... if i disconnect the MAP and plug its vacuum line i know itll throw a code but will it put me in limp mode? my MAF is fine

 

[CanadianTSi]

No it won't put you in Limp mode and No 2g's can't log boost.

Our MAP sensor isn't a real MAP sensor like the GM 3Bar...

Its not like a 3 bar map sensor because its not a map sensor. It is a MDP Manifold differential pressure sensor, it doesnt work like a map sensor at all, just thought I would clear that up and it is not needed but may throw a code, if you dont have dsmlink or something on those lines.

ok so to clear this all up. i can disconnect and take out this sensor and plug its vacuum line and have no bad effects? no performance issues what so ever?

thanks for your help guys its greatly appretiated

 

[CanadianTSi]

Yes you can take it out and there will be no performance Issue's. I don't run one.

And thanks Skunked for clearing that up I knew it was something like that but wasn't 100% sure.
