MAP sensor
« on: July 14 2018, 11:30:15 AM »
My alky won't activate under boost but test button works fine. Have 5.06 volts on grey wire at MAP....green wire has .09 volts. Question is when I blow hard in tube going to map voltage on green wire dosent change....it should unless a person can't blow hard enough to make it change??

I think you were on the right track to check the map output.  You did check the line from the sensor (vacuum) to make sure it is not cracked or broken?

Here's a link that shows voltages for a 3 bar  http://injector-rehab.com/shop/mapsensor.html

A 2 Bar should be around 5volts at 30 lbs, a 3bar 5v at 45lbs. Got a compressor with a regulator that turns way down?
jury rig connection to tire pressure?
EDIT ;absolute numbers so subtract 14.7

I used my oxy-acetelyne rig to calibrate the MAP table.  Gauge is a little easier to read at those low pressures

Thanks guys...yes line is good so I gotta figure out a way to put regulated air to it to test. My compressor regulator is shot so it's to much. Gives me a reason to replace it now I guess :icon_eyes:

Unplug the compressor and blow it down to 30psi.  Then hook it to the MAP.
