map sensor is on the throttle body. if you look at the back of the throttle body they have carved out a route for air to go uptowards the map sensor for reading. there are no vacuum lines connected to a map sensor. vacuum lines are all on the intake manifold.
if you unplug your map sensor while the car is running your car should turn off.
Am i even in the ballpark of this thread, I feel as if I'm talking about something completely different.
What's the problem?
