Best Answer

The MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor monitors the intake manifold pressure changes and adjusts the fuel delivery based on its reading

What is the sensor on 2009 Toyota Corolla air filter housing?

Although I have not personally seen this sensor, the only sensors that are usually in the intake are MAF sensors MAP sensors and IAT sensors. MAF sensors are usually a whole section of pipe and when you look through them you'll see a screen with bars that run across the diameter of the pipe. These sensors tell the car how much air is flowing through the intake. IAT sensors are usually small sensors that plug into a grommet in the intake that have a guard around them. These tell the computer what the temperature is of the incoming air so the car can adjust the air/fuel ratio accordingly. IAT sensors work in conjunction with MAP sensors. MAP sensors tell the car what the pressure is of the air that is coming in, when the computer compares this reading with that of the IAT it can calculate how dense the air is in order to adjust the air/fuel mixture. If I were to take a guess I would say its the IAT sensor.


Where is the map sensor on a 1999 Mitsubishi eclipse?

Mitsubishi Eclipse's don't have MAP sensors that come stock with the car. Mitsubishi uses MAF( Mass air flow sensors) not Mass air pressure and Intake Air Temps also referred to as speed density.

Are oxygen sensors and map sensors the same thing?

No they are not. O2 sensors measure the amount of oxygen in the exhaust downstream. The M.A.P. sensor stands for Manifold Absolute pressure Switch, it ties into the manifold and monitors the amount of vacuum in the manifold and compares the values to other sensors for the timing and fuel settings.

How much does it cost to replace sensors on a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am?

depends on the sensor .your question has to have more detail to it .Due to there is all kinds of sensors such as, temp sensor,knock sensor,o2 sensor,iac sensor,map sensor,idle air control sensor,mass air flow sensor,shift control sensors,transmission sensors,coolant sensors,hell there is even brake sensors and rear end sensors,some even have body sensors.
