Yes, a faulty map sensor can cause a vehicle to idle poorly. The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold, which is crucial for the engine control unit to determine the correct air-fuel mixture. If the sensor is malfunctioning, it can lead to incorrect readings, resulting in an improper fuel mixture that may cause rough idling, stalling, or other performance issues.

Yes....the MAP sensor tells the computer the amount of pressure or vacuum in the engine. This changes with throttle opening....etc. If the sensor is bad the settings will be bad. The MAP sensor can be tested for free at AutoZone.....and you can just take it in. They don't need it on the car.
