Making sense of your sensors

In most cars, the small, black MAP sensor is mounted directly onto the intake manifold, which is located on top of or to the right of the engine. The MAP sensor ...

The MAP sensor performs 'double duty' as a barometric pressure sensor as soon as the key is turned on. With the key turned on (prior to the engine starting) ...

The MAP sensor is typically located on the intake manifold, either next to or on the throttle body itself. (On a forced-induction engine, the MAP sensor can be ...

MAP can be located in the engine compartment as a separate component or integrated in the onboard controller. MAP is used in both types of systems - MPi and SPi ...

The manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP sensor) is one of the sensors used in an internal combustion engine's electronic control system.

A MAP sensor is connected to the inlet manifold to measure manifold absolute pressure. They can produce an analogue or digital output. The standard MAP sensor ...
